Start your year with a run full of good fortune! This GPS art route draws the Year-of-the-Horse motif around Senzoku Hachiman Shrine, famously linked to Minamoto no Yoritomo’s legendary steed “Iketsuki.” This 12km course blends culture, nature, and history—perfect for a New Year pilgrimage jog.
Highlights include the scenic Senzoku-ike Park, admired since the Edo period; the Katsu Kaishu Memorial Museum, honoring the influential samurai leader; and charming residential streets around Senzoku-ike, Ishikawadai, and Kita-Senzoku stations. You can even wrap up your run with a relaxing soak at the nostalgic Yahata bath house.
