京都観光ラン21km｜京都トレイルラン東山コース 2026

The Kyoto Kanko Run 21km is a guided trail-running tour in Kyoto’s Higashiyama area. The focus is on running between temples, shrines, hills, and viewpoints, not on achieving a specific time. The route begins at Fushimi Inari Shrine, covering the torii-gate paths and the steps to the summit. It then proceeds towards Shogunzuka and Mt. Daimonji. This event is for runners seeking a secure introduction to trail running, particularly marathon runners interested in mountain trails, and individuals who prefer running in a small group over running solo. The course connects Kyoto landmarks with sections suitable for running. However, the group walks within shrine grounds and on some crowded hiking paths for safety. The tour includes a stop at Tsurugi Shrine, known for its association with child protection. It passes scenic spots famous for autumn foliage before reaching the fire platform on Mt. Daimonji, offering panoramic views of Kyoto. Participants typically range from their 30s to 50s, with many attending alone. Women are a significant part of the group, and the atmosphere accommodates various experience levels. The run concludes near Ginkaku-ji, often followed by sweets at Ginkakuji Matsubaya, including their matcha cream puff.
