Introduction
The Izu Trail Journey, often referred to as “ITJ”, is one of Japan’s premier trail races along a stunning 70 km course taking you from the edge of the ocean up and across the mountains of Izu Peninsula. The expansive vistas of the Pacific Ocean below and the HUGE views of the majestic snow-topped Mt. Fuji you’ll encounter while running along the trail are awesome and will absolutely blow you away! The route is 80% on pure trail. Elevation gain is around 3200 hm.

International gateway
Best is to fly into Tokyo. Tokyo Haneda Airport is theoretically more convenient than Narita Airport, especially if you are in a rush, simply because Haneda is closer to the Izu Peninsula, which lies south of Japan’s capital city. From Tokyo, you need to take a train to reach the start or finish venue, subject to your accommodation arrangements.
