「Ｒａｌｌｙ Ｎｉｐｐｏｎ」３日目は、午前７時半に岐阜の都ホテルをスタートして一路奈良へと向かい、岐阜県庁でのスタンプポイントから競技を始め、彦根城、平等院、薬師寺などを巡り、奈良県庁での”歓迎”タイムコントロールを経て、奈良ホテルまでの２００Ｋｍ弱のコース。秋晴れの、雲ひとつ無い快晴の中を参加車は順調に駒を進めていましたが、「・１２２」ＡＭＡＺＯＮがリタイアした私とＳ大先輩は、再びＶＷポロで追従です。平等院では、お堀に浮かぶ屋形船でのランチという粋な設定と、「Ｒａｌｌｙ Ｎｉｐｐｏｎ」特製御朱印帳に朱印をいただけるという特典付きで、参加者は大満足。さらに、奈良県庁では「平城遷都１３００年」を来年に控えたプレイベントとして、ミス奈良の美しいお嬢さんと幼稚園児の盛大な歓迎を受けるタイムコントロール。薬師寺でも境内にクラシックカーを乗り入れて御朱印をいただき、午後５時前には、創業１００年の歴史を誇る奈良ホテルにチェックイン。午後７時から奈良県知事主催の歓迎パーティが奈良県新公会堂で行われました。美しい日本庭園で琴と雅楽の調べて始まったパーティは、奈良県知事はじめ、県議会、県経済界のお歴々が、勢揃いで「Ｒａｌｌｙ Ｎｉｐｐｏｎ」参加者を大歓迎。今宵もクラシックカーを話題に夜は更けていきました。明日の最終日は、午前８時に奈良県新公会堂をスタート、約９０Ｋｍを走り、京都のハイアットリージェンシーホテルへと向かいます。いよいよ明日で、初めての「Ｒａｌｌｙ Ｎｉｐｐｏｎ」は、「世界遺産」巡りクラシックカーラリーの終わりを告げます。
Rally Nippon started off at 7am from Gifu Miyako hotel on day 3 and made its way towards Nara. The rally started from the stamp point at Gifu prefectural office for a 200km day which passed thru Hikone Castle, Byodo-in, Yakushi-ji, was welcomed at a time control at Nara prefectural office and goaled at the Nara Hotel. The whole day was held under beautiful autumn skies, but as my Amazon had retired on the first day, we followed on the VW Polo. We were treated to a lunch aboard a Yakata boat at Byodo-in and were presented a red seal book (in the old days, were used as trading licences) where we received the seal. As a pre-event to the 1300 years from Heijyo Capital relocation, Miss Nara and a group of kindergarden children greeted us at the time control. At Yakushi-ji, we were able to drive into the grounds and receive yet another seal. A little before 17.00h, we checked into the Nara Hotel which boasts a 100 year history. A party which was organized by the Nara governor was held at the Nara prefectural hall. At the Japanese garden, ancient music was performed and the governor, prefectural assembly members and other prominent members of Nara were there to welcome the rally. The evening was spent on the topic of classic cars. Tomorrow is the last
day of the event and will start at 08.00h from Nara prefectural hall. The 1st Rally Nippon will come to an end tomorrow along with the tour around the World Heritages in Japan.
