Ginza Hatcho Shrine Tour in AUTUMN GINZA 2015

[Silver] Nov. 10, 2015 18:00

 "Ginza Hatcho Shrine Tour 2015" was held again this year for three days from November 1 to 3.

With the guidance of AUTUMN GINZA 2015 in one hand, I'm glad that you can participate from anywhere in the nearest shrine you are participating in.

You will receive a stamp book at the first shrine you visited, and you will also have a stamp of the shrine. From the second onwards, you will be asked to seal the stamp.

This year, ten companies were opened: Ko Inari Shrine, Ginza Inari Shrine, Ryuko fudoson, Asahi Inari Shrine, Hodo Inari Shrine, Ginza Iseyo guardian of children and travelers, Kabuki Inari Shrine, Azuma Inari Shrine, Success Inari Shrine, Toyo Iwaine Inari Shrine.

 When I made a gift at Asahi Inari Shrine, I bowed two bows, two beats, and bowed, I received a sealed letter with "Asahi Inari Shrine Engi".

Among them, I received postcards of Ema, a torii gate, a shrine enshrined on the rooftop. Also, you will be familiar with the history of Ginza.

 Success Inari Shrine also received Shiseido's "savon d'or" again this year. Thank you for the soap for your gift.

 

At Hodo Inari Shrine, we prayed for the health of our grandchildren.

Omikuji was included in a wonderful clear file designed for the Wako Building, the streets of Ginza, and the shrine of Hodo Inari Shrine.

In that, Hodo Inari Engi and his trust were written. "I'm lucky,"

In addition, a map of Yazaemon-cho and its surroundings at the time of 1902 is written, and it is a study. (Described later)

  

Postscript: I would like to talk about the auspiciousness of Hodo Inari Shrine.

The alleyway of 4-chome Sanban, where a small shrine called Hodo Inari was enshrined, was called Inari Koji.

This Hodo Inari was originally a shrine enshrined in Edo Castle in order to protect the growth of the successor of the Shogun family during the Edo period when the Inari religion was very popular.

 Since this Inari was very exciting for disaster prevention, a person named Yazaemon, a guardian of the temple, was erected at the corner of the current Namiki-dori St. in response to the deity of divine spirit. It is said that "the beginning of Takado Inari" at 4-chome.

Hodo Inari became the main god of defense without separating Shisho, and Yazaemon also decided to stay here and served as a talisman for Inari for a lifetime, so this area came to be called Yazaemon-cho.

 As you can see in the name of Hodo, this Inari is a god who protects the healthy growth of children. In addition, there are many famous companies whose birthplace is Yazaemon-cho, so it is less likely to visit as a god of business prosperity.

As a company that prays for child treasures and thriving business, we still have a strong religion today.
