Here’s the map↓
The address is 1-1 Wakabacho, Ashiya City, Hyogo Prefecture.
↑Inside the park, there’s also a sign for the “Citizen Jogging Course Guide.” It looks like a great place to train for the “Ashiya Sakura Fun Run”!
↑Running along the Miyagawa River in spring sounds wonderful! If you’ve never joined a marathon event before, this might be a good chance to start with the 3 km course.
