Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog

We provide seasonal topics while visiting temples and shrines in the city, and we write articles in a good manner with poor ginseng. This is the second time.

 

Takenawa Aki. The town of Ginza, sung by "Enjoy City, the City of Love ♪" and "Tokyo Rhapsody", now has a very sorrowful color and has an atmosphere like an "adult town".

There is a famous "Ginza Hatcho Shrine Tour" in Ginza. This course, which is enshrined here and there in the town of Ginza, visits Shinto and Buddha, is a recommended promenade where you can also enjoy a strict feeling as a silver bra. It is also introduced on the homepage of the Chuo-ku Tourism Association, so please take a look. Visit Ginza Hatcho Shrine

One day I walked on this course near the evening. Each spot is unique and attractive, but this time I would like to introduce [Ryuko fudoson] from among them. As you know, the statue of Acalanatha is located on the premises of the Matsuya Ginza store and has been handed down since the Kamakura period.
Acalanatha is said to be the incarnation of Dainichi Nyorai, the center of Esoteric Buddhism, and is a god of resentment derived from India, the birthplace of Buddhism. In addition, this Buddha has been told that it has benefited from "Ryuko" (favortex) due to the reading of its name, and it is said that the number of visitors to fashion-related people has increased. It's a story that makes sense in the town of Ginza.　[Photo 1: Ryuko fudoson]

Next, I would like to introduce [Successful guardian of children and travelers] on the Mitsukoshi Ginza store, which is the same line as Matsuya.
It was dug out in the early Meiji era from now being reclaimed [Sankuma Horikawa], and the name of "Successfulness" was dedicated to "Successfulness". It is believed that "If you do your best, you will always be able to communicate" and attract many religions. Jizo Bodhisattva is a Chinese translation of Sanskrit, which means "Buddha in the womb," and is said to save people as wrapping them in the womb. The image of everyday life is "Children's guardian angel".　[Photo 2: Success guardian of children and travelers]

Of course, there is also [Kagoya Inari Shrine] on the same department store Matsuzakaya. The Hatcho Shrine also includes seven Inari-sama companies. In the old days, "Edo specialty." Iseya, Inari had a somewhat dirty word of dog droppings.

As I learned from rakugo, it is exactly "Samurai, Bonito, Daimyokoji, Hirokoji, teahouse, purple, fire extinguishing, Nishiki-e." I'm in the middle of a fight with fire. Iseya, dog droppings in Inari. " I think it clearly expresses the hustle and bustle of Edo at that time. There was a company in the town here and there that contains Inari. By the way, it is said that the inclusion of "dog droppings" is a ridiculous for the "law of mercifulness".

In the Ginza area, the annual "Autumn Ginza 2012" will be held from 27th of this month to November 4th. As part of the event, "Good luck stamp rally" of "Ginza Hatcho Tour" will also be accepted from November 1 to 4. Why don't you go out in this refreshing season?

Now, as I walked in such a way, the dusk was approaching one day. Ginza Street is going to end.

In the past, there used to be a popular song called "Ginza of Tasore", but is Ginza a city that suits you at night?

When the passers-by to Twilight suddenly begins to show calm, I think that such urban scenery is also delicious.

The 27th of this weekend, when "Autumn Ginza 2012" begins, is "Thirteen Nights" (September 13, old calendar).
Since ancient times, Japanese have enjoyed watching the moon at this night, apart from the 15th night of August old calendar. It seems that "Thirteen Nights" is a custom unique to Japan that is not found in China. Isn't it a wind style to taste the moon just before the full moon as a "name moon"? It is probably the sensibility of the Japanese who have valued subtle "beauty".

 

"Autumn sun drops a fishing bottle" ... Please try "Gin Bra" while enjoying the change from sunset to night view. You will be able to meet the wonderful scenery.

October 19-20, 2012 traditional event Bettara City, which has continued since the mid-Edo period, is Takarada Ebisu Shrine.

It's held in Tokyo.　On October 20, 19th the day before, to offer the service to Ebisu-ko.

The origin of the city began to sell fish, vegetables, household miniature shrine, etc. Daikon radish

It is called "Bettara City" because the pickle was sold well, and it is called "Bettaritsuzo ~" and "Betto"

Sprinkle the radish tied to the rope and put it on the sleeve of worshiper's kimono.

It was fun. Because radish is pickled with candy and koji, it sticks to clothes.

It is said that it came to be called "betara pickles". 15th Shogun Yoshinobu Tokugawa

He seems to have been a favorite. It is a traditional pickle that has been around since the Edo period.

There are many stalls and stalls at the festival portable shrine, and it is crowded with many people. Everyone is smiling.

There is also Edoya near here, and many people are shopping. "Otake University

The monument of Niyorai Well Ruins stood quietly in the crowd.

 

 

The Chuo-ku Tourism and Commerce Festival has finally begun!

During the period from October 1st (Mon) to November 20th (Tue), there are a lot of events, including live performances, stamp rally and various events, and I can't wait to see this time every year!

Among them, what I am looking forward to is the "treasure hunting game".

Problem papers are distributed at stores and facilities in Chuo-ku, and based on the hints written there, search for the place where the treasure chest is placed.

There is always a story related to Edo, and this time, a clue to Ieyasu Tokugawa obtained and searched for "Yatoku's jewel" with Jan Jooss Ten as the guardian was found during the renovation work at Yaesu Exit of Tokyo Station, so search for "Hoju" based on that! Therefore, if you do not know the history, famous places and historic sites of Chuo-ku, you will not be able to easily reach the hidden places.

Last year, it was difficult not only to search for treasure chests, but also to unravel the encryption based on the keywords written there, and there were Braffs and fake treasure chests, so I was able to get along with people who were looking for hints and get closer to the geography in the ward, and met people who were looking in the same way at the place where the star was attached, and managed to get along.

This year, the total prize money and prizes will be 5 million yen! It's a big behaviour, so if you think it would be difficult, simply search for 8 keywords and OK!
I can't go around in one day, so I divide it into three times and complete the mission!

In order to walk all over the place, I also participated in stamp rally, an antenna shop in various places.

Of the 17 stores in total, 12 stores are eligible to apply for stamps, but all 17 stores are cleared at will.
It was just the time of new rice, so it was fun to see the naming of rice in various places.

The antenna shop stamp rally is closed on October 18 (Thursday), but the treasure hunt is open until November 4 (Sunday).

If you are interested, please join us.

　Each has a lot of turrets, trucks and trucks, and before 8 o'clock in the morning, it's very crowded.

I'm exploring the charm of Chuo-ku from various angles, but this time I focused on shrines and temples and decided to start a series that introduces mainly the topics of the neighborhood.

At the same time, since it is "autumn of culture", amateurs want to visit with "Ginyuki spirit". It's just a feeling, so please forgive me what you can't do.　

By the way, the first one was "Takarada Ebisu Shrine" (hereinafter referred to as "Takarada Ebisu").
On the next weekend (October 19th and 20th), the festival of this shrine, "Pebisu-ko", will be held, but rather the "Betara-shi" held on the approach to the shrine may be better known. May be.

The specialty "Bedarazuke" sold in "Bedara City" is radish koji pickles, but it is a slightly sweet and seasonal food. It is also designated as a recommended specialty product by the Chuo-ku Tourism Association.　

In the first place, Takarada Ebisu Shrine began when residents who had emigrated from the former Takarada Village celebrated their own guardian when the Edo Castle was expanded. It seems that the original Takarada Village was near the current Chiyoda-ku government office. At this time, a samurai named Kanmu Magome, who was Ieyasu's servant since Mikawa, laid Ebisu-sama from the Tokugawa family at a shrine.

Kanmu Magome did not only control the land around this area, but also served as Director of Mi Demma. The place name Otemmacho is derived from this position. Denma is the government office that governs transportation and documents at that time, and is located not only in Edo but also in important places in various places. There is an explanatory version describing its history near the shrine.　

On this day, we were preparing for the festival. From now on, the bustle of the festival comes to mind. After completing the worship, those who return to the specialty Betta pickles as souvenirs will overflow on the approach.

In my case, I'm looking forward to walking around Ningyocho or Muromachi after visiting and eating delicious food, and hooking a little bit. Well, I don't know which one is the purpose.

I will post the sunset view several years ago. You can relax in the refreshing breeze of autumn and the pale colors of the evening, and you can't return straight. But Chuo-ku has attractive towns everywhere, so it's inevitable to stop by.　

It is said that "Pabis-sama" benefits business prosperity, family prosperity, and sunshine. It is the only ancient god of Japan in Seven Lucky Gods. (Others came from India and China) There seems to be a theory that the beginning was the god of the sea, and that it was deified from the awe and respect for what comes from the other side of the sea.

In the upper part, the New Year's "Ebesan" is famous, but in Tokyo, the autumn "Ebisu-ko" is the busiest. Of course, the "Shimai Ebisu" in December and the "First Ebisu" in New Year are also important fair.　

Please go out, including the pleasure of returning home.

 

Well, one phrase.
 `The end of the waves of the city of Betara,'
