Encounter with willows of Ginza Nisei

[Nyan,] 14:00 on October 1, 2018

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 MarathonApple” 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.

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