Great work. I bet that was a great place to run!
I started running this year too. I had a couple big setbacks (the biting flies were nuts mid august and shin splints which took 2 months to fully heal, make sure your shoes aren't laced too tight!) but I have so much more energy day to day I know I can't ever stop now.
What app are you using there btw?
This is Strava. I record on a Garmin watch and the activity syncs to the strava app from the Garmin connect app.
As for location, Japan has been pretty shit for running. China is ten times more accommodating to runners, with every major town having at least a small park, to full on multi-kilometer running paths.
This run was along roadsides and involved a lot of crossings which was less than ideal.
