jogging in Yoyogi

I was under the impression that running was not as popular in Japan as it was in the United States, but I happened to see many runners while doing my morning jogs in Yoyogi Park, next to NOMYC. I was happy to see Yoyogi under very heavy use - passive users stroll and admire the rose garden, while more active users hit the cycle track, run, or excerise their dogs in the dog run. 

Yoyogi for me contained most of the elements that make a successful park, and I hope I get the opportunity to visit a few more times before I go.

Doesn't that first picture have a no-running sign?
