Where to stay for the Tokyo Marathon 2027

Sunday, March 7, 2027 · start 9:10 · 日本語版を見る

The Tokyo Marathon starts at the Metropolitan Government Building in Shinjuku and finishes in front of Tokyo Station, on opposite sides of the city center — and you collect your bib at Big Sight on the waterfront the days before. Most hotel advice picks one end and hopes. This page measures every hotel on the map by train minutes to the start and to the finish, walk to the station included, and shows the ones close to both.

The travel times below are typical timetable times in the morning window — including the walk from each hotel to its nearest station, but not live delays. Prices are each hotel's typical nightly rate, refreshed in weekly batches; set your dates on the map for live prices and availability.

Good to know

The times on this page are typical morning journeys for the chosen window, not the race-day timetable, and they end at the station platform, not at your corral. Trains run as usual during the marathon — road closures do not affect them — but allow a buffer for the walk from the station to the gates.

The Marunouchi line links the two ends (Nishi-shinjuku and Shinjuku on one side, Ginza, Tokyo and Otemachi on the other). Tochomae itself is on the Oedo line, so on race morning you either walk over from Shinjuku or change at Shinjuku.

Book early: overseas runners paid their entry fee by September 30, and the hotels around the Metropolitan Government Building go first. Set your dates on the map to see live prices — rates shown without dates are not race-weekend rates.

How these times are calculated

Tokyo Hotel Map precomputes station-to-station travel times for 807 stations across the JR, Tokyo Metro, Toei, and waterfront networks from real timetable data, then adds each hotel's walking time to its nearest station. Times shown are typical daytime journeys — rush hour and late-night times can differ, and you can switch time windows on the map. Always allow a margin for transfers and delays.
