Run a race in Japan

Samurai Running Tours specialize in bringing people to Japan to run in 10K, Half Marathons or Marathons. Our tours are designed to be a fun, easy and safe way to travel to the events, run and enjoy the whole experience.

Whether a newbie or an advanced marathoner, Samurai Running has the race for you. Come to Japan with the excuse of running and enjoy the whole experience a trip to Japan has to offer. Shopping, sight seeing, relaxation, dining and entertainment at reasonable rates are all part of the packages we offer.

We conduct our tours in order to give value for money and time. This means entertainment value, and a unique experience. We'll show you a side of Japan that you won't find anywhere else.

All good trips are ones in which you have positive contacts with the people of the country. We understand this and strive to create the type of memories that will last. Scott, a marathoner (recent PB 2:45) expat Australian with over 50 races in Japan and wife Emiko, a Japanese national with 20 years experience as a travel agent will be your hosts. We want to show you why we choose to live here and just how good running in Japan can be.
