Miraculously, I participated in the Tokyo Marathon for the second year in a row, and with that joy in my heart, I walked the streets of Tokyo for seven hours. The Tokyo Marathon is the largest full marathon in Japan, and every year many runners from all over the world gather at the event. The course takes in the famous sights of the city center, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is a festival that represents spring in Japan. Please be sure to take a look at the overwhelming atmosphere, where the cityscape, runners, volunteers, and cheers from the roadside come together like a giant wave. ▼Event name: Tokyo Marathon 2024 ▼Date: Sunday, March 3, 2024 ▼Event: Marathon, 42.195km ▼Number of participants: 37,000 people ▼Location: Tokyo ▼Course: Start (Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building) - 10km (Akihabara) - Midpoint (Ryogoku) - 30km (Hamacho) - Finish (Tokyo Station) [Summary of information that may or may not be necessary] •The time limit is 7 hours•If you start at the back of the line, there will be a time lag of 30 to 40 minutes from the starting gun•If you start at the back of the line, you won't be able to see the confetti•The book stores in Jimbocho face north•There is a lot of information on the signs in Akihabara•Asakusa and Asakusabashi are about 3 kilometers apart•The intersection at Kuramae 1-chome is the junction for runners•In Asakusa, you can smell the local specialty, dozeu•There are many things to see in Asakusa, including Kaminarimon•You can feel the warm spring air along the Sumida River•The clock tower at the intersection at Ginza 4-chome was destroyed in the first Godzilla movie•The official name of Tokyo Tower is the Japan Radio Tower•Marunouchi Nakadori, the finish line, was once called Mitsubishi Village〈References〉 Bunshun OnlineBecause it is a city of booksThe pride and eccentricities of Tokyodo Bookstore Jimbochohttps://bunshun.jp/articles/-/172?page=1 Kanto Regional Development Bureau Nihonbashihttps://www.ktr.mlit.go.jp/ktr_conten...
