Japan’s first traditional
farmhouse-turned-running station is now open in Tamana, Kumamoto Prefecture, the hometown of the swift-footed marathon legend Kanakuri Shiso.
This 170-year-old farmhouse was converted into a running station in the Kamioda neighborhood of Tamana, Kumamoto. This is the area where Kanakuri Shiso, the marathon runner featured in the epic drama Idaten, grew up. We hope it becomes a hub for runners to come and meet up.
The running station is equipped with showers, bathrooms, and changing rooms, as well as a traditional farmhouse's earthen floor and tatami areas, making it an ideal base for running clubs and running events.
In addition to running, there are also courses for rogaining and “mara-nics” (marathon/picnics). Behind the running station is a mountain with a slackline and zipline, making it a versatile space for people of all ages.
