Hakone Ekiden
Thu, 03 January, 2019
MoonFlower and I went out to cheer up athletes in the event called Hakone Ekiden
Ekiden is… here we go:
Ekidens are long-distance road relays. The distance and the number of runners vary according to each competition. In many races, including the Hakone Ekiden, each runner covers about 20 kilometers, roughly the distance of a half-marathon. Instead of a baton, a tasuki (sash) is handed from one runner to the next. Hakone Ekiden is undoubtedly the most well-known of all the ekiden races held in Japan. The first ever Hakone Ekiden dates back to 1920, and except for a few years during and after the war, it has taken place during the New Year holidays ever since.
Very unique sport, I guess.
Near the goal, we saw 1st and 2nd place runners.

Gadget works, huh! It was fun to cheer up and use such digital gadget for enriching this blog content… hahaha.
No more special traditional foods from New Year… Now back to normal.
Though, after-meal sweets are still Japanese style. Called "DAIFUKU."
Pretty fun today.

1st Prayer for 2019: Yushima Shrine
Wed, 02 January, 2019
Yesterday, MoonFlower and I didn't do much at all except coming back in Tokyo.
Today we decided to go out for 1st prayer.
Called "HATSUMODE."
MoonFlower picked one place as our destination for it.
It was Yushima Shrine.
Actually it is located very close to our area…
Tons of people… but things were very organized and no mess to approach to small shrine.
Though, took us about a whole hour to get there.
Cold but it was good weather. Nice to be outside and did something. Hahaha.
What did I wish within the prayer?
Well, health… and safety… That is about it.
