Introduction of Tokyo Marathon EXPO2023 "Chuo-ku Tourism Association Booth"!
This is Edamame, a correspondent with children.♪
I'm writing this article on March 2 (Thursday).
Three days after counting from today, the Tokyo Marathon 2023 will be held.
Actually ... Edamame, we plan to participate as a water supply volunteer at a certain place in the city, following last year.
That's why
This is the venue for the Tokyo Marathon EXPO2023, which will be held prior to the actual event.
Head to Tokyo Big Sight today.
After completing the "Volunteer Reception", I received volunteer uniforms etc. used on the day.
This "Tokyo Marathon EXPO2023" is not only for volunteers but also for volunteers.
It is also a reception place for runners.
A large gathering of people involved in the event! That's why.
There was also that in the venue.
Company booths and event sponsors
A corner that sells wear, shoes, nutrition supplement goods, etc. used by runners on the day
There were plenty of places to sell official goods for the tournament!
Edamame, who doesn't run, was interesting just by looking at it.
Under such circumstances, there were many exhibitions of "tourist information booths around the tournament course".
Of course, our "Chuo-ku Tourism Association" booth was also set up! ! ！！
As a correspondent, you can't miss this.
When I got the uniform, I rushed in!
After all, the god of running "Skanda" is indispensable!
When you combine the keywords "sightseeing in Chuo-ku" and "running!", What comes out?
Here you are.
It is "Skanda" of Ningyocho, Great Kannon-ji Temple!
"Skanda" is also used as an example of a fast-paced person.
It was originally a god of Buddhism.
From the slaughter that when the demon robbed the Buddha and fled, he followed and regained it
It is known as a well-running god and anti-theft god.
It seems that you will be a "guardian god of runners".
Of course, Daikanonji Temple in Ningyocho
It is described in "Chuo-ku Monoshiri Encyclopedia" (Official Text of Tourism Certification)
The iron bodhisattva head with a height of about 170cm and a width of about 54cm is famous.
"Skanda" is enshrined on the right side of main hall, up the stairs.
(On the day of the tournament, please visit us after cheering in the Suitengu-mae area!
Please note that traffic restrictions are imposed around the course on the day. )
That's right.
At the booth of "Chuo-ku Tourism Association"
There are plenty of "Skanda goods"! I did it.
In particular, the limited items shown in the photo at the beginning.
The design of Skanda "Tenugui" and "Goshuin Book" is also wonderful.
"The next time I buy a red seal book, this is good ...!"
I thought it myself.
In addition, Skanda's "Kifuda" and "Armband" are used.
It's something that runners can learn when running the course on the day.
I thought it would be good for you.
And there was also "Tokyo Kumihimo clap tree" from Nihonbashitomizawacho Ryukobo.
Cheering by hitting the claps may also be Edo-like.
homa wood with a wish ...
There was also a corner where I wrote the homa wood of Daikanonji Temple here and prayed at the temple later.
In particular, Edamame is in charge of the second half of the course this time.
With the wish of "I hope the runners can finish!"
I wrote it.
※I wrote my own wish on the back.
I hope everyone's wishes will come true!
That's why the Tokyo Marathon 2023 is 3 days left.
I hope that the runners will be able to finish without injury!
In the shade (while preparing a sports drink?) I'm supporting you!
