諏訪から甲府「のろしリレー」約70キロを特急あずさと速さ競う

甲府市開かれている「信玄公祭り」にあわせ武田信玄ゆかり長野県諏訪市から甲府市にかけておよそ70キロの距離のろしを上げてつなぐのろしリレー」が行われ、特急「あずさ」と速さ競いました。

この催しは、4日から甲府市開かれている「信玄公祭り」にあわせ戦国時代甲斐信濃勢力下に置いた武田信玄通信手段として使っのろし再現し、諏訪市から甲府市まで19か所をリレーでつなごう行われました。 参加者は5日午前11時半ごろ、諏訪市有賀で最初ののろしを上げ、それを確認した市高島古城跡近くで次ののろしを上げてつないでいきました。 また、ほぼ時刻にJR上諏訪駅を出発した特急「あずさ」に足軽姿伝令乗っ甲府市武田神社目指しボールのよろいかぶとをかぶっ子どもたちぼら吹い声援送っていました。

高島古城跡近くでのろしを上げた人たちは、眼下通過する「あずさ」を見下ろしながら、次々つながるのろし声援送っていました。 参加した人たちは「去年は列車負けたから、ことしもリレーが勝つんじゃないでしょうか」とか、「天気もよくて、のろしはよく見えたんじゃないでしょうか。勝つといいですが、このあとのお楽しみですね」と話していました。

また、ぼら吹い小学5年の男の子は「特急に負けない速さで連絡できるのろしはすごいなと思いました」と話していました。 のろしは41分後に武田神社から目視確認されてゴールとなった一方、特急で向かっ伝令甲府駅から自転車で神社に向かい15分遅れ到着したということです。
