Ansei Excursion Samurai Marathon (51st)

Ansei Excursion Samurai Marathon (51st)

Event Overview

In Ansei 2 (1855), the Anchu feudal lord, Katsuaki Itakura, ran a little over seven miles of Nakasendo from Annaka Castle to Kumano Gontoshi at Usui Pass for the purpose of the master's physical and physical training of the clan, and allowed them to record their arrival order. This is called "Ansei Excursion". A record of that was discovered in 1955 from a teahouse [Azumaya] on the Usui Pass and organized and restored the Ansei Excursion Preservation Society. It is also famous for the fact that there are many players who have been disguised as the name Samurai Marathon. Image courtesy: Ansei Excursion Preservation Society
