「準備」Preparation

0コメント

Welcome to my new Blog section called “Nakasendo Diary”.
As some of you know already, I decided that it’s about time to do what has been in my head for a few years now:

Walk from Tokyo to Kyoto on foot

ようこそ、新しいブログのセクションへ♡

「中山道ダイアリー」
東京から京都まで歩くことについて書きたいと思います。

ん?そうです。江戸時代みたいにタイムスリップして、うちの主人と中山道を一発に歩きたいで〜す。
最初に東海道歩こうと思ってたけど、やはり普通の大きな通りは多いみたい。日本をもっと深く味わいたいので、中山道でしたら自然や昔ながらの街もまだ残ってるので中山道に決めた。

Sounds totally crazy? It is, but this motivation comes from Japans history – as during Edo time it was the only way to travel and move produce around the country – on foot! A few “highways” were introduced. The famous Toukaido which runs along the ocean for some part, and the Nakasendo being the route north through the mountains.

Nakasendo seems more fun and untouched vs. Toukaido is mostly replaced by big busy streets. This trip shall be an experience of the past and the tough life people were living as well as looking and feeling rural Japan as a country – away from all the commercialism.

535 kilometers!!

535キロメートルみたいですね!
ワクワクしながら怖さもある (笑)

膝は少し弱いから心配なので、ジョッギングタイツも足に合ってるスニーカーも購入。初めてのアシックス!

Actually I am not the most sporty person and had some slight problem with my knees in the past so am a little scared.. But I really want to make it so I got myself new sneakers after having my feet measured and also invested into jogger tights which are supposed to support knees and muscles.

Preparation

Of course I’m taking my husband and we trained a little bit by walking and hiking the Mt.Takao in Tokyo. It was very beautiful!

トレーニングのため、高尾山を10キロかけて登りました。キモヒィ〜

It seems to be important to keep the luggage as light as possible but still I want to be prepared, so here is the result of packing for two: (Still seems a lot.. humm)

二人用の準備ですね。少しバタバタしてた。行く前に仕事も色々完成したかったこともあります。ふー
明日は日本橋に出発!

Tomorrow morning we will start in Nihonbashi, Tokyo as this is the traditional starting point. (See the woodblock print)

I hope to achieve the goal and that we get to Kyoto healthy and happy.
Please read along – as I plan to update every days progress and some pictures.

無事に京都の三条に着きますように祈って下さいw
ここでは毎日のプログレスを書きたい。よろしくお願いします╰(*´︶`*)╯
