27. According to this description in the museum:

28. Includes a description of the region’s strategic importance. Nobunaga took advantage of this area to open up the era of unification.

29. The afternoon schedule introduced many new citizens. In particular, Mr. Kihara and his party came from Kyoto on an expedition.

30. Ms. Murakawa, who is also known as “Ako-chan,” stands out as a proponent of denuclearization.

31. Kido Keiko from Kihara’s team recorded publicity comments and repeatedly informed the public about the need to stop the release of contaminated water through loudspeakers during the march. The contents include an introduction to a marching group walking from Seoul to Tokyo. It’s touching.

32. The weather is good without straight sun light, but with constant wind blowing.

33. The scenery of the plain where Nobunaga must have run around is also nice.

34. While walking on this plain, I would like to get the aura of him who opened up a new era at that time.
