On New Year's Day 3, 2015, University Hakone Ekiden Return Route (Kyobashi-Nihonbashi)

[Edo Tabi Taro] January 5, 2015 17:40

■On the 3rd of the University Hakone Ekiden Otemachi Goal, I walked along Chuo-dori from Kyobashi to Nihonbashi.

Here are some of the things I saw.

(1) At the corner of the Kyobashi intersection, a preliminary meeting was held. On the sidewalk beyond that, there was a support banner (shooting time: 11:30). The same applies below.
