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,'
