Tokyo Marathon 2025

Congratulations, I also got in through the ballot. I'm currently watching some YouTube videos for recommendations.

I'll most likely fly Thursday to Thursday.

Hotel booked now, it was very reasonable. The exchange rate is really in our favour.

Will finalise the flights in the next few days. Everything seems to be around the €1,000 mark. Trying to get a flight that arrives early afternoon and departures early afternoon is proving difficult on the days I'd like to travel.

Looks like it's just use two.

Training hasn't gone to plan so may be more of a sight seeing run!

Very reasonable. I was initially planning on going on my own, I had a 4 star booked for 8 nights for €600. Now my better half is coming I've had to switch it and 7 nights is coming in at €950ish.

The yen is very good for us at the moment.

I go regularly, but not to run. The Toyoko Inn is a chain. I stayed 2 nights for 18,000 late January. So, €100. It's room with a bed, and a Japanese style bath. It's a wet room. No closet. Just hung stuff on a hook at the end of the bed. Clean and all that. Japanese breakfast included. I had miso soup and rice, with scrambled eggs and bacon. They had those hideous small sausages, which I skipped. One morning they offered curry, and I was going to get it the next day, but it wasn't on offer!

This was in Atami, but have also used the one in Odawara too, in 2018 or 2019.

If you want a photo of the breakfast on day one, or the bathroom, let me know. Presumably they have pics on the website.
