Japan specialist travel agency KIE/Kintetsu International was selected as the exclusive travel agency in the U.S. for the Tokyo Marathon in 2012. The city of Tokyo will be hosting its annual marathon on Feb. 26 and Kintetsu is offering an exclusive marathon travel package that allows participants a guaranteed entry into the race.

This marathon attracts over 250,000 entries per year, but only 30,000 actually gain admission through a special lottery. Kintetsu’s special package is the only one available that actually includes a ticket, guaranteeing entry and bypassing the lottery selection process. The six-day/four-night package includes hotel and air plus guaranteed entry into the race. Prices start at $2,172 with dates running from Feb. 22 to 27. The package is also 10 percent commissionable to travel agencies. For more information, call 800-422-3481, email info@japanforyou.com or visit www.japanforyou.com or www.kintetsu.com.
