  Departing from Marunouchi, where the daimyo had their homes, we head for the site of Kira Kozuke-no-Suke's house.

  At last, more than 300 years since the raid on December 14, 1702, from the site of Kira Kozuke-no-Suke's house (there is a well that was used to wash Kira's decapitated head), we travel by taxi along the road taken by the Ako Roshi as they walked to Sengaku-ji temple.
  This will be the second half of Chushingura (the march to Sengaku-ji; Ryogoku Bridge; a break for Chikuma miso/amazake sweet sake; the site of Asano Takumi-no-Kami's residence; introduction to the ronin; Sengaku-ji; the ronin's seppuku).
