Shonan International Marathon

I ran it twice. Wonderful location with Mt. Fuji view, not too crowded. It’s flat, shielded from winds but close to water so the air is great. Early December is fantastic temperature wise so I highly recommend it. Tokyo marathon is too hyped up. Shonan is more relaxed while at the best location. Enoshima and Kamakura offer wonderful food and historical sites. Very nice and cheerful crowds, ppl offer home made snacks to runners. Great organization, but it’s Japan. Wouldn’t expect anything else :)
