　On October 20, we participated in the welfare council festival held in Chiyoda-ku (ward office) next to Chuo-ku. .
　We had a variety of entertainment/workshops, Ultraman Seven participated in the event, opened stores in our sister cities, Tsumagoimura and Akita. In addition, various handmade foods are sold at low cost, so we were able to have a more enjoyable time than we had imagined.

The photo shows a list of food at the store. I received most kinds, and I was quite hungry.

Tsumagoi Village (a sister city of Chiyoda-ku) is cabbage. (The photo shows the cabbage of Tsumagoi Village)

All dishes and chopsticks at the store are unified and thoroughly reused. The festival in the future may be like this.

　

********************
By the way, while reflecting on that I ate a little too much, I walked to Nihonbashi via Kanda.

Yes, this time it's Betara City in Nihonbashi.

　

　
Speaking of Bettara City, among the various theories, the name "Bettara Pickled" comes from the fact that radish is pickled with sweeteners such as koji and sugar, so it sticks on clothes . In the past, a young man shouted, "I'm swaying a radish tied to a rope while shouting, "I'm swaying it ~, I'm swaying it on the sleeves of a visitor's kimono." "

There are some descriptions in this article. In a sense, it looks smiling, but personally, at that time, if you pollute your kimono, it would be harder to remove the smell and dirt more than modern times, so is it really permissible like such a junior high school student? ? I'm wondering about it.
How did you actually do it?

　
By the way, my aim is "with skin" and "red turnip" among pickled vegetables.

　
I ate too much before coming to Betara on this day, so I didn't get much hungry, but it's fun to go around the stalls and walk around.

What are you looking for? If you missed this year, it will be fixed on October 19 and 20 every year, so I hope you will incorporate it into your schedule.

On September 23, I participated in the Hokushin State Half Marathon, which runs from Nozawa Onsen Village, Nagano Prefecture to Iiyama City via Kijimadaira Village. Although it is a downhill trend, such a fierce downhill is something that can never be tasted in Chuo-ku, which is flat. The ups and downs that come after a slip that makes your feet stiff is quite tight, and even though it is a half marathon, you can enjoy the sense of accomplishment at the goal as much as a full marathon.

　By the way, after the running event, the “Local Umaimo Eat Marathon” and “Tourist Marathon” will continue, so there is no time to rest. I visited the Mayumi Takahashi Ningyokan in Iiyama City, Nagano Prefecture, where I was concerned.
(I have such a grandma-chan!)

On the way, the word "Ginza's Yanagi II" jumped into my eyes.

What? Why are you here?

I immediately came up with the relationship between Azumino and Yanagi in Nagano Prefecture, but I couldn't remember the relationship with Iiyama City.

Yes, "New correspondent Hanes" was one of the second-generation willows planted in various places nationwide, which was recently written by Imijiku.

Near the Mayumi Takahashi Ningyokan, another Nisei willow tree and its explanatory text were installed.

Say
・Edmond Morrel, a foreigner who worked hard to start the railway between Yokohama Shimbashi in 1872, died from a guest death.
・Mrs. Morrel's wife, Mrs. Kino (Japanese), will follow him to the unreliable person.
・Mr. Kazuji Shiiba (Chairman of Ginza Gomon-dori) and Mr. Yasuo Katsumata (Chairman of Ginza Kinharu-dori) who have raised Ginza II.
　Professor Takasuke Watanabe of Tokyo Institute of Technology (Tokyo Tech) was connected to Moril's contribution.
・Mr. Juichiro Furuta of Iiyama City taught Mr. Watanabe in detail about Mrs. KINO.

It is said that Ginza Nisei Yanagi was given to Iiyama City in the spring of 2000 AD.

・・I wonder if I was the only one who felt quite complicated.

According to the website of the Tokyo National Highway Office, the website of the Tokyo National Highway Office.
・1994 "In the Yokohama City Foreigner Cemetery, which contributed to the establishment of a railway in the Meiji era and led Ginza to the development of Ginza.
　Eight Nisei and Sansei willow trees are planted in front of the grave of the British Mrs. Edmond Morel. 」
・In 1999, it is described as "Donation of eight second and third generations to Iiyama City, Nagano Prefecture."

From participating in the marathon event, I found a connection in Chuo-ku in unexpected places. This is also one way to enjoy it.
