The Imperial Palace Jogging Course Program
Conducted by a Peninsula Tokyo personal trainer, participants begin with a 10-minute warm up and stretching session at the starting point of the Imperial Palace jogging course prior to setting out on a 5 km / 3.1 m jog around one of Tokyo’s most historical sites. Upon completing the course, participants return to the hotel’s swimming pool area accompanied by the personal trainer for a private 30-minute cool down stretching session. Guests may then choose to use the 20 m / 65.6 ft swimming pool with terrace overlooking the Imperial Palace Gardens before enjoying a Naturally Peninsula Post-Workout Runners Lunch Plate at The Spa dining area or in the privacy of their guestroom. This low fat and high protein lunch plate includes a fruit salad with natural yogurt, granola bar with stewed apricots and prunes, minced chicken and tofu burger with teriyaki sauce, red onions, lettuce and cottage cheese, and a low fat banana energy smoothie.
