It's fun! December 3 The 17th Walking Festival in Hama, Nishi Ward

　On December 3rd, the 17th Nishi Ward Hama Walking Festival “From Edo to Meiji, the Dawn of Nishi Ward” was held.
　The day is sunny and there is no wind. More than 1,000 people participated in the course and enjoyed the charm of Nishi Ward. At the goal venue, various events such as raffle, where luxurious prizes sponsored by local companies, and the provision of soup flour by members of the dietary life improvement committee have been revived for the first time in four years, and the Sugi (Ho) Taiko drum (Daiko) performances, booths of Yokohama Excellence and Yokohama Canon Eagles, and a lot of cosmo-chan performances from Cosmo World who rushed to support were also fun.
　This walking festival is also a pre-event for the 80th anniversary of the Nishi Ward system. I was very pleased to see the 80th anniversary of the Nishi Ward system, which will begin in January next year.
　I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Mr. Komatsu, Chairman of the Nishi Ward Sports Promotion Business Promotion Committee, for his efforts to hold the Walking Festival.
