This might not be everybody's peak experience, but the run around the Imperial Palace could be second best and a whole lot easier than climbing Mout Fuji. The 5km plus-a-few-meters course takes participants around the Imperial Palace, passing near the Marunouchi business district, the Budokan, venue to sports and concerts, the British Embassy and Hibya Park. There is even an annual charity team-relay run that does the distance and is organized by the Japan Times. For those who require a more leisurely pace, there are plenty of things to look at while you complete the circuit.
