A new trend is hitting Japanese running trails, as people embrace "Edo Running" style with a skyrocketing popularity. Origated from Japan's Edo period, this distinct and historic style of running, characterized by short, quick steps and an upright posture, is catching on as a unique form of exercise. The revival of Edo running serves a dual purpose - promoting fitness and celebrating the nostalgic cultural heritage of Japan.

The surge in "Edo running" not only represents an embrace of healthier lifestyles but is also a testament to the enduring respect for tradition in Japanese society. It is not uncommon for such cultural revivals to occur, often fostered by a desire to preserve Japan's unique cultural heritage, especially in the face of modernity.

In contrast, while the U.S. and EU also see trends in fitness and health consciousness, there is less emphasis on historical or cultural connection in their exercise styles. Rather, new fitness trends often incorporate the latest scientific findings or technological advances.
