We headed out to Japan for a big parkrun adventure.
Four parkruns.
Three weeks.
Two girls.
ONE BIG ADVENTURE! Week two... Nagoya and Meijo Koen parkrun.

We are in Japan for their extra day parkrun: Greenery Day! I've never been to Japan and wanted to explore the country, the culture, and the parkruns!

We got the Shinkansen (bullet train) to Nagoya to run Meijo Koen parkrun. This video is the story of that journey. Koen means park in Japanese so we visited Meijo Park parkrun. This parkrun is four laps and is right next to Nagoya Castle. The wisteria here was utterly incredible! I've never seen anything like it!

Huge thanks to the wonderful team at Meijo Koen parkrun and special thanks to our new parkrun friends Miho and Kotomi. Arigatōgozaimasu 🙏
