雨の中を歩こう: 東京ヤマソンにおける悪天候への準備方法

October is upon us, and with it comes the Tokyo Yamathon! While we’re all hoping for clear skies, the average weather in Tokyo this time of year tends to be on the wet side. That’s why it’s essential to be prepared in case the rain decides to join you on your journey.

10月がやってきました。そして、東京ヤマソンも間近です！晴れの日を願っていますが、この時期の東京の天気は、平均して雨が多めです。だからこそ、旅路に雨が伴う場合に備えて準備しておくことが重要です。

Walking 40 kilometers is a challenge in itself, but throw in some rain, and it becomes a test of both your physical and mental resilience. Don’t worry though – with the right preparation and gear, you’ll be able to conquer the Yamathon no matter what the weather brings.

40キロを歩くこと自体がチャレンジですが、そこに雨が加わると、心身の耐久力が試されます。でも心配しないでください。適切な準備とギアがあれば、どんな天候でもヤマソンを乗り越えることができます。
