Walking and jogging enthusiasts have heard that they are steadily increasing with increased health consciousness.

At the same time, the maintenance of jogging courses in Tokyo is steadily progressing.

The courses around the Imperial Palace are one of the most popular areas in Tokyo.

 

What I recommend is the Sumida River Terrace.

This is the name of the water terrace on both banks of the Sumida River, which is being developed as a flood control project in Tokyo.

 

What do you recommend?

I'll give you the reason as I think.

 

1 The terrace is located on the river side of dike, where vehicles cannot pass, so you can use it safely.

2 Since there is no traffic light and there is no undulation, it is easy to distribute your own pace.

3 There are many famous bridges, and there are hundreds of meters between the bridge and the bridge, making it easy to set a running goal.

4 Since various materials and designs are used on the road surface, it is interesting to see changes in the soles.

5 You can enjoy the scenery of the waterfront, such as the shining water surface, water birds, and a variety of buildings on the waterside.

　I feel the vitality of the city.

6 The picture on the wall of dike is devised. It's cute.

7 You can wave your hand to a sightseeing boat that goes back and forth between the Sumida River.

　And so on.

 

In addition, the width of the river is wide, so the ston and the sky are reflected in the view more than I expected.

It is very nice to be able to easily enter the space in the city where you can feel the size of the sky.

 

Today, we walked from Ryogoku Bridge to Eitai Bridge.

I love bridges, and I think the bridges in this area are really beautiful.

Format, materials, colors, and design.

I thought that my predecessor would connect both banks.

The history of the bridge ...

I'm looking at this and so on.

What you can look up at the bridge from below is also exciting.

 

This is near the mouth of Tokyo Bay.

You need to be careful during high tides.

The tide, which has risen to the edge of the terrace, will wet your feet like a mischief.

　

 

 

In the New Year, there are things that you will definitely want to see in a refreshing mood.

It is a godly figure of Fuji with snow.

"Ichifuji, Nitaka, Sannasubi" is the best three of my first dream.

 

In winter in the Kanto region, sunny weather continues, and there are many days when you can see "Mount Fuji" standing in the tight air through the windows of skyscrapers.

 

You can see it like a picture, but if you look at it, you want to climb it.

However, the mountain of Fuji, which is the tallest in Japan.

It's not a good thing.

 

Now, here is Teppozu Inari Shrine, which is enshrined at 1-chome Minato, Chuo-ku.

On the right and northwest of this shrine, you will see Mount Fuji, a miniature version of the lava of Fuji.

It's Fujizuka.

 

When I climbed a steep rocky area, I worshiped Asama Shrine at the top.

At the entrance, there is also a womb (a hole that has been opened lightly).

Currently, it is about 6 meters high, and the back is surrounded by apartments.

It was also depicted in the Edo period book, "Edo Famous Zoukai," so it would have been quite crowded on June 1, old calendar, where the mountain was opened.

 

The artificial mountain called Fujizuka was built by the Fuji religion, Fujiko since the Edo period.

It is widely distributed mainly in the Kanto region.

On the way around the city, I found a climbing Fujizuka at Shinagawa Shrine in Kita-Shinagawa, Shinagawa-ku, Hatomori Shrine in Sendagagaya, Shibuya-ku, and Fuji Shrine in Honkomagome, Bunkyo-ku.

 

I would like to climb Mount Fuji, which is far back.

But I can't climb easily.

If so, I would like to stand at the top of Fujizuka, where at least the remnants are left.

You can see a prayer that fulfills your earnest dream.
