Where to spectate

Only the endpoints have honest miles. The outline names the middle of the course and does not number it.

Start and finish

Mile 0 is the Metropolitan Government Building. Mile 26.2 is Gyoko-dori.

Kaminarimon is on the list. We are not assigning it a kilometre.

Ready-made plans

Gyoko-dori

Adult support crew

The outline names the finish and the start. It does not publish kilometre marks for the places in between, so this plan does not invent them.

  1. Mile 0

    Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building

    Toei Oedo Line, Tochomae

    Start on the outline. Mile 0 is the gun, not a spectator pen.

  2. Mile 26.2

    Gyoko-dori, Tokyo Station

    JR Tokyo Station

    Finish on the outline. Marathon cutoff is 7 hours from 9:10am, so 4:10pm.

Meetup: Tokyo Station, Marunouchi side. Pick a gate the night before.

Stay at the finish

Family

One move. The start is in Nishi-Shinjuku and the finish is at Tokyo Station.

  1. Mile 0

    Kaminarimon

    Asakusa stations

    Kaminarimon is on the course list. The outline gives no kilometre, so the mile is left at 0 rather than guessed. Use it only as a place name.

  2. Mile 26.2

    Gyoko-dori

    JR Tokyo Station

    Finish. Wheelchair start 9:05am, cutoff 2 hours 30 minutes on the outline.

Meetup: Gyoko-dori. Do not rely on a phone at the line.

Edition status

Date, start, finish and the place list are from the Tokyo Marathon 2027 outline, opened 4 November 2026. There is no course atlas because that page did not publish a GPX or an elevation profile.
