← Murakami Triathlon
Travel: Shinkansen and then local train which takes a total of 3hours from Tokyo.
Hotels: Lots of good hotels. Staying near the start line is always best.
Swim: Inside the conrete world of Japan coastal protection, so it's normally flat. Can see the bottom most of the time.
Bike: The best part, 20k out along the coast road right next to the sea, normally into a slight head wind. Then 20k straight back with a roaring tail wind. Great views.
Run: Through the town to the finish line. Lots of crowd support.
