What you need

RUNNET account registration is required. A domestic emergency contact number (other than the entrant) must be provided.

Payment

Credit card, convenience store payment, or ATM. Service fee: ¥240 for totals up to ¥4,000; 6% for totals over ¥4,000.

Bib pickup

Race numbers and timing tags are mailed to entrants in early May, so no race-day pickup is needed. Overseas runners would need a Japanese mailing address.

Notes

Bibs are posted by mail in early May, which may be problematic for overseas runners without a Japanese address. No explicit mention of overseas entry support or English-language registration.
