Leg 2 (Japan)
Airdate: February 27, 2015
- Minato (Shinagawa Station) or Chiyoda (Akihabara Station) to Nagano (Nagano Station)
- Nagano (Matsushiro Castle (Japanese))
- Nagano (Nishi-guchi Zenkō-ji)
- Nagano (Japanese) or M-Wave)
- Nagano (Patio Daimon (Japanese))
The leg began with teams taking a bullet train to Nagano. Upon reaching Nagano, they went to Matsushiro Castle for their next clue. That clue was a Roadblock asking, "Who can think outside of the box?". One team member had to solve a traditional Japanese puzzle box known as yosegi that contained a password they would need to say to the guards to enter and receive their next clue. One of the clue envelopes contained a "Date Night" reward to be used while at the Pit Stop; that prize was found by Harley & Jonathan.
The post-Roadblock clue instructed teams to travel to Zenkō-ji, the city's largest Buddhist temple, and search the temple grounds for their next clue, a Blind Detour giving teams the choice of Share or Chair. In Share, teams made their way to Takesan Donabe restaurant and had to feed each other a bowl of noodles, using only a pair of chopsticks and while sitting in front of a large fan. Once all the noodles were eaten, a waiter would hand them their next clue. In Chair, teams traveled to M-Wave Olympic Arena. One team member sat on a chair mounted on a sled, while his or her teammate pushed the chair around a speed skating track. After one lap, the teammates switched places. Teams had to finish both laps in a combined time of no more than 3 minutes and 55 seconds in order to receive their next clue. Both Detour clues sent teams to the Pit Stop at Patio Daimon.
