Itinerary description

Miyakoda Sogo (Athletic) Park is one of the most popular athletic parks in the suburbs of Hamamatsu. MIyakoda area is one of the experimental new towns there where you may not have to commute long distances to the places of work. Large scale shopping mall is nearby the park joined by the beautiful bridge. The park is not only home to wide variety of wild birds but for serious runners.

This 1.6 kilometer jogging/walking course is a bit challenging because you have to face the steep down and upward slopes. It may not that hard for a few laps but if you run this course for 5 to 10 laps it may be damaging for your legs. And what is confusing is the distance marks in between. 400m, 760m, 880m and 1200m distance marks are placed or measured incorrectly. Thanks to GPS these distance errors may be properly corrected though this wikiloc trail.

    It is like going for a short run in everyday Japan. Very nice broad walking-running paths.
