This is a nice run in the southwestern part of Yamaguchi. Ishin Centennial Memorial Park is a major athletic centre, home to rugby & soccer stadiums, tennis courts, and two running tracks. A loop around the park’s pedestrian paths and roads is ~3.5 km. Enjoy a few laps around the track at Ishin Centennial Memorial Park Athletic Field.
Yoshiki River. Google Street View
For a longer run, the Yoshiki River is adjacent to the park. There’s a small road/path along the narrow river. Head north for ~1.2 km to Highway 9, or south for 1 km Bando Park (so, ~2.2 km of paths along the river). Combining Centennial Park and the river paths can yield an 8-9 km run!

Essentials
Up to 8-9 km combining the park & river paths -- choose your distance! Plus track laps
The paved multi-use path along the Fushino River is the best bet for a longer, easy to follow running route in Yamaguchi City. It's 3.2 km between Idegahara Kasen Park and Yabara Kasen Park. Mix of open and wooded, with some nice water views.
Nicely landscaped green space in the area of the Rurikoji Temple. Enjoy ~1 km of walking paths, and views of a 5-tiered pagoda. Especially pretty in cherry blossom & fall foliage season. A small, traffic free road in front of the park allows for a longer run.
In the northern part of Yamaguchi, a pleasant run combining a loop around small, pretty Kameyama Park, a small road/path along the narrow Ichinosaka River, and Kozan Park.
A beautifully green and VERY hilly run. Small roads and paved paths through mainly wooded terrain. Nice views from the Castle Ruins observation deck. Full route is nearly 8 km and 320m of elevation gain!
