## Minatomirai Bay 5K: Run, Explore, & Meet New Friends!
Lace up your running shoes and get ready to experience one of Japan’s most scenic urban landscapes on foot! Join us for a casual, social 5K run through the heart of Yokohama’s stunning Minatomirai district.
Whether you are training for your next big race, looking to get back into running, or simply want to explore the bay area while making new connections, this event is for you. We warmly welcome everyone, regardless of pace or running experience. Our focus is on having a fun time, moving our bodies, and meeting new people.
### The Route
We will follow a beautiful waterfront loop that showcases the best of Yokohama’s architecture and history:
- Start: We meet at the bustling Sakuragicho Station Square.
- From there, we will head straight to the bay area, soaking in the views of the skyline and the Cosmo Clock 21.
- We will run past the modern complex of Yokohama Hammerhead.
- Next, we jog along the iconic, historical Red Brick Warehouse (Akarenga Soko).
- Finish: We circle back to finish where we started at Sakuragicho Station.
### Who can join?
