The Tama River 50K (km), a part of the Tamagawa Cycling Course, is a great place for those who want to walk, run, or bike outside without worrying about narrow roads, sharp corners, and cars. The trail runs alongside the northern bank of the Tama River, with one end of the trail at Daishibashi (Daishi Bridge), close to Haneda Airport, and the other end at Hanemura City. There are benches to sit on for those who need a break, and plenty of vending machines around. Enjoy beautiful scenery while you stay fit!
