20130623-214049

Many peolpe are beginning to train for the upcoming Fukuoka marathon. Kayoicho Park in Kasuyamachi which has a large pond and a 4.2195km walking course around it is recommended as an ideal place to train. That means running 10 laps inside the park roughly equals the distance of a full marathon. (42.195km) Not only that, but there are less people than in Ohori Park so you can enjoy your own pace. Or stop and enjoy a view of the carp and waterfowls in the pond. Some enjoy fishing there too. There are 700 recently planted sakura trees ) and 180 kinds of roses at the rose garden (not a typo, yes, 180 varieties of roses) which will be peak time in May.
