I was hoping to run Nagoya Women’s Marathon in March this year, as well as run the Tokyo Marathon again a week before that. But damn you Covid-19 both marathons were cancelled for mass participations.

Japan was hot in the news with Diamond Princess cruise ship cases then. Other than that, I felt the situation in the whole country was under control. So I went on with my trip, with extra precautions of course – mask on, sanitizers ready in the bag.

Covered a few prefectures this time around cos I bought Japan Rail Pass (JR Pass).

The pass can be used only by foreign tourist and offers unlimited rides on almost all trains operated by JR nationwide, and that includes shinkansen!

I covered some parts of Shimane, Tottori, Hyogo, Kyoto, Shizuoka, Yamanashi, Nagano, Niigata, Yamagata and Iwate prefectures. And of course around Tokyo, and the journey to and from Narita Airport.
