Sanpo in the Park

Join Animal Walk Tokyo for their annual 'Sanpo in the Park' – a stroll in Yoyogi Park to raise funds for local rescue group Dog Shelter. In addition to the 2km walk for animal-loving friends, you can look forward to a picnic full of entertainment, including a hula dance performance, live music, crafts with students from the American School in Japan, dog training sessions and a bake sale. Keep an eye out for AWT volunteers in bright blue shirts at the Yoyogi Park fountains on the day: registration starts at 10am and the walk itself at 10.30am, with an expected duration of two hours. It costs ¥2,000 per person and ¥4,000 for families of two or more, with all donations going directly to Dog Shelter. And don't worry about not having a dog of your own – this one's open for both pooch owners and other animal-lovers.
