Starting from Peace Memorial Park, the route of the competition will reach the JR Miyajimaguchi Station and finish at the Peace Memorial Park again in the end as 48 kilometers in total.
If you go to watch the game, you will also see many people dressed in “special clothes” like Mario from the personal experience of Sana. 😂And the baseball players from Hiroshima Carp also participated in it before!
Along the route the players will run with the beautiful coastline of Setouchi Inland Sea and also the adorable streetcars nearby. And on the way you will also see many crew of special TV shows that will definitely be very interesting.
