Tokyo Marathon Map 2027

Sunday, March 7, 2027. The wheelchair marathon starts at 9:05 AM and the marathon at 9:10 AM; the marathon closes at 4:10 PM (7-hour time limit). It is the 20th edition, with a record field of 40,000 runners.

It starts at the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building in Shinjuku and passes Suidobashi, Ueno-Hirokoji, Kanda, Nihonbashi, Asakusa Kaminarimon, Ryogoku, Monzen-Nakacho, Ginza, Tamachi and Hibiya before finishing on Gyoko-dori in front of Tokyo Station.

The 2027 closures have not been announced yet. In 2026, roads around the start at the Metropolitan Government Building closed from about 6:00 AM and Gyoko-dori at the finish from about 7:00 AM, and the course closed section by section between about 8:35 and 9:40 AM. Pedestrians and cyclists cannot cross the course either. Closing times and crossing points by section will be added to this map once announced.

The course passes right by Kaminarimon Gate in Asakusa and through Ginza, so you can cheer the runners while sightseeing. You cannot cross the course while it is closed; to get to the other side, use pedestrian bridges or subway station passages.
