Now we have 3 barefoot running clubs, Tokyo, Osaka, and Fukuoka.
Tokyo has about 120members and now we started training with another regular running club
who wants to try barefoot. So we get about 50-60 people everytime. We train every monday starting 7pm mainly at Oda track&field or someitime at Yoyogi park near Harajuku station.
There is a trail event on July 1st. I just name is Barefoot party. anyone is welcome.
We run beautiful tokyo trail (there are some beautiful trails just outside of tokyo city).
about 12-20km depending on your level. Then head to Hot spring then party!

We'll do some farm work and cook meal with fresh vegitables. we go climing on Yatsugatake, very beafutiful place.
