An alley in Ginza and Hodo Inari Shrine

[Yurikamome] December 12, 2010 17:46

 Today's Ginza is lined with tall buildings, but in the past it was not a tall building but a modern store.

The shops were lined up along the main street, but the back street between the building and the building played an active role as a living road.

At that time, the width of the road was about one, and it was said that he carried various things in an inconspicuous place.

Now it is thinner than before, but alleys are still left here and there.

An easy-to-understand alley is Harumi-dori St. toward Sukiyabashi and turn right in front of the Tenshodo building.

There is a cupid doll of about 70cm standing on the corner.

And if you turn left at the eel shop on the corner as if it were attached to the Tenshodo Building, you will find an alley.

If you walk a little at the end of the alley and turn right, you will find Hodo Inari.

Looking back at Hodo Inari, you can feel the building in the alley well.

The road in the alley is designed to lower the center and consider drainage, so that water does not accumulate on the road.

I thought this was the same as the alleys of Tsukuda and Tsukishima, and was well considered.

Hodo Inari Shrine Ginza 4-3

It was located in Edo Castle at a shrine dedicated to the son of the Shogun to grow up robustly, but it was enshrined at this place.

It is reported that there is a healthy child's growth and benefit.
