Mt. Bizan helps me to balance my mind and body.
The closest theme park.
Mount Bizan is the symbol of Tokushima City. Located close to the city center, the mountain is easily accessible to everyone, and in addition to its observation deck and night view, it is also a place to enjoy sports. We spoke to Wakayagi Sansai, a Japanese dancer and trail runner who has been running up Mount Bizan for nearly 20 years. What does this mountain mean to her?
Encounters and journeys
"We are truly grateful to have Mt. Bizan nearby."
Sansai, who says this, is originally from Nagasaki Prefecture. She encountered Japanese dance when she was in high school, and moved to Tokushima when she went to university. She studied under a master and threw herself into the world of dance, while also living a busy life with marriage, childbirth, and work.
She started running marathons at the age of 27. It all started with the idea of "exercising even when you don't have time." At the time, she was working as a registered dietitian, and in addition to giving dietary advice, she also had many opportunities to encourage exercise. It was during this time that she started walking and running to show people who said, "I don't have time," that "you can do it even if you don't have time." However, it's difficult to travel far to exercise between raising children and other daily tasks. That's why she chose Mt. Bizan, which is easily accessible from her home.
"I wanted to exercise, but my time was limited. So for me, Mt. Bizan was the perfect place," she recalls. For about 20 years since then, Mt. Bizan has become deeply rooted in Sansai's life.
