Information to Suitengu (Kamiya)

[whatever] April 23, 2013 14:00

suitengu1.JPGFrom March 1, 2013, two months have passed since the Suitengu Shrine in Nihonbashikakigaracho was relocated to the temporary shrine in Nihonbashihamacho (side Meijiza)  following the rebuilding of the main shrine hall. Although it is a distance that can be reached on foot, do you know that you can use the free shuttle bus "Kohomaru" from the nearby Royal Park Hotel to Kayagu until the main shrine is completed? The service days are Dog Day and Saturdays, Sundays, holidays, and weekdays. On the day of the Dog, special flights are available early on.

 Near the front desk, armor helmets were on display, sometimes at the time of the Dango Festival. On the first floor, which can be said to be the face of the hotel, which welcomes customers first, the gorgeous but solid decoration that changes with the season will delight users, but when there is time until the bus ride time, check out the shops and restaurants in the museum. Personally, I recommend bread and cakes that are sold only during the season on the first basement floor "Dericatessen Royal Delica".
 Some shops in the vicinity of Suitengu Shrine and Ningyocho offer products cheaper than usual only on the day of the dog, so why not buy Japanese sweets as souvenirs and return home?


 Well, I'll get on the "Kohomaru". There is only one step lower, but it is easier to ride. A video of the old Suitengu Shrine was also played inside the car. Departing from the hotel, from Suitengu Street, see off the old shrine hall on the right side of the Suitengu-mae intersection on Shin-ohashi-dori St. on Ningyocho Street and turn right at Ningyocho Intersection. Enter Koza-dori, pass the Hisamatsu Police Station on your left, turn right at the Hisamatsucho intersection and go to Kiyosubashi-dori. You will arrive at the temporary shrine in about 15 minutes. Many people came to pray for this day in Da'an, probably because of the climate exceeding 20 ° C. The timetable of the bus from the temporary palace to the hotel is posted near the entrance gate in front of the torii gate.

 If the weather is nice, it would be nice to take a walk on the nearby Hamacho Park and Sumida River Terrace by extending your legs.
