Yatayama Hill Cross-Country Run   (March 2, 2014)
On February 21, 2014, all the students at the JHS and SHS ran through the hills of Yatayama. It was the 26th running of this annual event at our school that started back in 1964.

The course is about 12 km long. It is fairly rough running along the narrow, winding and slippery paths in the hills and forests behind the school.

Students can see three famous temples along the way. First they will reach Matsuodera Temple which is worshiped by many people wishing to drive out evil spirits. In the middle part of the course stands Komyoji Temple which is known as the temple that cures diseases. The third one, where students can reach in about 20 minutes from Komyoji Temple, is Yatadera Temple. It is visited by many people who go there to enjoy its beautiful hydrangea garden.

The fastest students make it back to the school grounds in less than 1 hour.
This athletic run is surely a lasting and memorable event for all students.
