Kyoto, known for its beautiful scenery, offers runners a breathtaking course.

The route then meanders through the picturesque Sagano area and past the serene Hirosawa-no-ike Pond. Runners will then find themselves on the renowned Kinukake-no-michi Road, revered for its scenic beauty for centuries. As they continue, the course takes them through the Kyoto Botanical Gardens, along the iconic Kamo River, and into the lush and historic Kyoto Gyoen National Garden, also known as the Kyoto Imperial Palace. A highlight of the Kyoto Marathon is the opportunity to witness the five mountains that take center stage during the Gozan no Okuribi festival. These mountains are illuminated with enormous bonfires in the shape of the Chinese characters for "large" and "Buddha's teachings," as well as familiar shapes like a torii shrine gate and a boat.
