Practice Event for Beginners: Yamanote Line Loop Walk, 10 / 20 / 28 / 40 / 42 km, 3-4 km/h, 3,000 yen (練習会 初心者向け 山手線1周ウォーク 10 20 28 40 42キロ 時速3～4キロ 3000円)
About the Event
Walkers circle the Yamanote Line clockwise from Tokyo Station at about 3 to 4 km per hour, stopping roughly every 10 km. Stations are always close by if anyone feels unwell, and the many rests mean plenty of people walk 42 km for the first time here. Most participants come alone and chat as they walk. Meeting is at 9:00 in front of the Marunouchi South ticket gate at Tokyo Station, with exercises at 9:05 and the start at 9:15. Finish points are Osaki at 10 km (around 12:00), Shinjuku at 20 km (around 14:00), Ikebukuro at 28 km (around 16:00), Raku Spa Kanda at 40 km (around 18:00) and Tokyo Station (around 19:00). Raku Spa Kanda, a bathhouse with a cold plunge and shampoo, costs 550 yen. Shorter entries can be extended on the day by paying the difference in cash. No maps are handed out and there is no baggage drop, so use a station locker or carry a change of clothes in your backpack. The walk goes ahead in rain, though a disaster-level storm could cancel it, and distances may be cut if the weather changes. Fees run from 2,200 yen for 10 km to 3,000 yen for the full distance, and 100 yen from each entry is donated to the Noto Peninsula disaster area.
