Happy New Year. On January 3, I went to support the annual Hakone Ekiden and return route. Every year we support in front of Mitsukoshi. It was full of people who supported me again this year. Aoyama Gakuin University was desperately pursuing Tokai University, but in front of Mitsukoshi, Tokai University won the victory. I was watching until the end, but the TOP Group's running seemed to be tired at all. The figure of the player is also blurred in the picture. After that, he visited Fukutoku Shrine for the first time. There was also a line here. I have been praying for a safe and healthy year at home.

　On January 2, the Nihonbashi area is bustling with New Year's first sale.

There are plenty of special events only for the New Year to celebrate the New Year.

First of all, the sound of the New Year's tradition "Lion Dance".

COREDO Nihonbashi 1.2.3 (9: 50-10: 50), Edo Sakura-dori St. Undergroundwalk (13: 00-13: 15), Nihonbashi Mitsui Tower (13: 15-13: 30), and choled Nihonbashi (14: 30-15: 00) paraded around each commercial facility.

The lion dance performed in celebration and festivals. It is a New Year's folk performing art that has the meaning of "Susumu Invitation", which drives away exorcism, hunger and plague.

At the entrance on the 1st floor of Coredo Muromachi 2, sake Hakkaisan is served as the first hospitality of the New Year.
