Abstract
This article examines how Murakami's travels and physical activities, such as running, influenced his literary works, and what his travels and physical activities, such as running, convey to us. Haruki Murakami's travel and treadmill running discourse, his sayings about physical activity, his famous sayings, and the proverbs he quotes were collected and analyzed. The results are as follows. A review of his travel and sports running discourse revealed several characteristics. ①sensationalism, ②nostalgia, ③a body that resonates with wandering, ④People of each country (human observation), ⑤curiosity(This paper describes each of them in detail). At the end of this article, we show some examples of tours in which Haruki Murakami travels and runs.
