The 47th National Shiobara Onsen Yukemuri Marathon was held on May 26, 2024 (Sun) at the Shiobara Onsen town in Nasu-Shiobara City, Tochigi Prefecture, with 1,280 entries.
Our company also participated as volunteer staff, issuing completion record certificates, assisting with tournament operations as a route guide, and providing SEIKO sports clocks.
To coincide with the start of the spring walking season, we participated in a trash picking activity sponsored by the Shiobara Tourism Association.
Last year in 2023, the event was unfortunately canceled due to rain, but this year, despite the cloudy skies, a total of 75 people from the Hot Spring Tourism Association, hot spring inns, and nearby companies participated in the event.
Seven employees from our company participated, including one who was participating for the first time, and they walked from the Yunoka Line parking lot to the Kamishibara area, collecting combustible and non-combustible garbage from the roadside, filling 45 liter bags.

Shiobara Tourism Association organizes a garbage pick-up initiative every year with the catchphrase, “Let’s clean our city with our own hands!,” and we participated in this spring’s Clean Campaign. This year's event had more than 90 participants, including some from the Association, making it the largest ever, and there can be said to be a growing awareness of environmental friendliness.
Six people from our company participated, and they worked up a sweat mainly by picking up trash in the Yunoka Line parking lot and in the Kamishiobara area.
Every year, our employees pick up cigarette butts, waste paper, and other garbage around the Unit and along National Route 400 with the aim of maintaining a suitable environment for a location adjacent to Nikko National Park and contributing to the local community.
