I saw it again this year! Waseda-Keio Regatta 2024

Waseda-Keio Regatta 2024 was held at Sumida River.

This year, we will leave Chuo-ku and watch the game from Sumida Park at the goal point (upstream Sakurabashi) and Mukaijima on the opposite bank.

I obtained the traditional "Hayaspo" from the first issue of Higashispo in 1959, and read a crew introduction article.

The notable player is a long-length player who is a candidate for the next generation of Japan.

Please see the video on the official website for the race results. The 93rd Waseda-Keio School Rowing Competition

This year's race was different from the timetable until last year.

The second eight started the race at 12:10, and the race interval was about 3 hours until the final race at 15:00, "versus school eight".

It is also recommended that you spend the waiting time while watching the water bus.

On both banks

As written on the banner, it is near Sakurabashi on the Taito Ward side and Sumida-ku side.

The balloon installed a little ahead of Sakurabashi is the goal point.

Sakurabashi was very busy with the support battles of both schools.

If you want to see the 3750m race, we recommend the Sumida River Terrace near Ryogoku Bridge!

The other day, "Hello!"

The last article "Hello!" It was this scenery under the red torii gate I introduced.

I think many people have watched it in the TV drama broadcast until the other day.

The staff had been preparing red carpets and Japanese lantern from morning in the cold wind.
