Koami Shrine, located between Nihonbashi and Ningyocho, will be celebrating tomorrow and Reitaisai festival.

Unfortunately, it was bad weather today, but many worshiper came from 9:00 a.m. and received a special class of Chinese zodiac Ema.

Up to two kinds, one per person. The number is limited.

In the rain of the sideways, there is also a performance in Kagura Hall.

And! This year's Reitaisai festival, tomorrow, Miya portable shrine will run around the town for the first time in 10 years!

A mikoshi waiting for tomorrow's turn.

Originally, imperial procession was once every five years, but five years ago it was not done because of the Great East Japan Earthquake. That's why it's a 10-year-old look. We pray for a good imperial procession to offer safe prayers to those affected by the disaster.

Koami Shrine will celebrate its 550th anniversary this year. It was built at the end of the North and South Dynasty! Michio Ota, the founder of Edo, has a strong religion, and is now counted as the Seven Lucky Gods of Nihonbashi (Fukurokuju, Benzaiten), and is gaining popularity among young people as a power spot for improving fortune and eliminating bad luck.

It was during the war that Koami Shrine became widely known in protection against misfortune. The people who went out with the talisman of this shrine were able to return safely. And he escaped the war in the Great Air Raid. From these, it came to be worshiped as a god of good luck evil. Also, even in the Great Kanto Earthquake before that, when Miyashi evacuated to Shinohashi with his body, many people who were in the same place were saved, so it was said that it was the virtue of Koami Shrine.

In the precincts, Chozubachi, which was burned down by the Great Kanto Earthquake, is still active.

By the way, Koami Shrine is famous for its unique and wonderful products, but it is also famous for its award.

This is "Mayutama Mikuji". ↓

Omikuji is in the real eyebrows. It is lucky items, which suffered from the vitality of silkworms, and it is cool because many are connected to the precincts. It seems that you can take it home and use it as a talisman.

On the precincts, there is also a "Senrai no Ii", which is familiar under the name of Tokyo Senarai Benten. Please purify your coins and bills. It seems that if you put it in your wallet as it is, you will be able to get fortune!

Koami Shrine is filled with a lot of culture and history in a small precinct. If you want to get rid of luck, go to Reitaisai festival tomorrow! Please take a look at Miya carrying of miniature shrines for the first time in 10 years. Of course, don't forget shrine hall's "rise dragon" and "drain dragon"! It is a dragon that controls "good luck."

 

 

This is rosemary sea, which covers "gifts and enjoy yourself" as a topic.

We visited Eitaro Sohonho, who is also a member of the Chuo-ku Tourism Association, and his Nihonbashi Main Store to hear the story.

It's full of topics.

First of all, there are two hot news.

　

①　The Japanese sweets of Eitaro Sohonpo are on display at "G7 Ise-Shima Summit 2016" (May 26-27).

At the request of the National Japanese Confectionery Association in response to a request from the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, two works, Eitaro Sohonho and Toraya, were exhibited. . It was a brilliant appeal as a representative of Japanese sweets. The photo above is Eitaro's exhibition. The vivid works of scissors chrysanthemums in the upper center and yellow and orange are eye-catching. Scissors chrysanthemum is one of the most difficult tasks in making fresh sweets.

　

②　Eitaro Sohonho's Anmitsu won the Japan Gift Awards 2016 Tokyo Award. I'm happy and unbearable to interview you focusing on gifts. It seems that this anmitsu was made with the idea of "at home with a freshly made taste in the Nihonbashi Main Store Cafe Room".

　

Introducing the products of the shop.

↑　On the left, seasonal products. The right and upper right are Japanese sweets that are also introduced at the Ise-Shima Summit. In the center of the right, "Amana sugar" with a red ribbon, and in the lower row, from the left, the tower (Takadono), Tamadare, and Kintsuba.

"Ginza Swallows" are nesting again this year.

Matsuya East Building, one of the three nesting sites that have been confirmed in recent years, crossed the sea far away from Southeast Asia, which is a wintering area, this year, and showed up.

It is said that old nests are often repaired and used, but this year, in addition to the old nests, nests are also nested on the cover of a nearby fluorescent lamps.

It hatches in about two weeks after incubating, and for another three weeks, the parent swallows are said to carry food.

In the harsh environment of urban areas, which cannot be said to be blessed as a growth environment, the hard childcare appearance shown by the parent bird is impressive and can be watched closely.

It preys on insects that live while flying in the air and descends on the surface of the water to drink water.

The number of nesting locations in Ginza, which is said to have been nine locations 30 years ago, has now dropped sharply.

Nevertheless, swallows are managed to survive in Ginza because they are relatively blessed with street trees that are the source of insects, and the existence of the natural treasure trove of the Imperial Palace, many of which have been reclaimed, but the waterside of the excavation site, which is a heritage of Edo. In addition to the natural environment, it is thought that the social environment, such as the gentle gaze of the city that accepts swallows and warmly watches the nest, greatly contributes.

I would like to warmly watch the nests of as many chicks as possible so that you can meet swallows again next season.

 

 

I went to the hot topic Tokyu Plaza Ginza, which opened at the end of March.
There are some shops that I'm worried about.
First, take the escalator to the Chirico Lounge.

　

　

When you look up at the ceiling of about 27 meters, you can see a great atrium space!
The lantern, hung from the ceiling, is shaped like a drum.
It seems to be an image of a traditional Japanese festival.
In the daytime, light was spilled through the gaps between the ribbons in the lantern.
Light up at night! It will be a very fantastic space.
You can relax on the sofa in the public space
You can eat and drink at the attached cafe.

　
The view overlooking from the glass with the motif of Edo Kiriko is a beautiful view.
It was a premium Ginza that I had never seen before.♪
I'm looking forward to the seasonal events that are held regularly.

　

　
A few days later, we had tea at Sukiyabashi Chabo in the lounge.♪
I have a mysterious tea called Hojicha Art Gray.
Chabo's three sweet taste, white macaron, truffle chocolate, and fertilizer rice cake sweetness
We shared chestnut kneaded raw fu mutarashi with friends.

　

　
Ginza has many foreign tourists, so it seems that Japanese sweets will also be received (* ^^ *)

"Plantan Ginza Cat Cats Exhibition Cats, Cats, Cats & Goods Fair" is an event that started in 1992.

This time, the 49th time, 12 shops from about 70 artists participated, and various goods such as stationery, interior goods, tableware, illustrations, accessories, figures, fashion miscellaneous goods, etc. of "cat motif" are exhibited.

The venue is Espers Plantan (festival venue) on the 5th floor of the Main Building of Plantan Ginza.

The event period is from Wednesday, May 25 to May 31 (Tuesday).

The photo shows the mini Japanese-style Nhashmallow purchased at the venue.

Japanese-style marshmallow (Hozui) is a Japanese confectionery that has been popular in Kyoto for a long time, and it is called marshmallow, but it contains white bean paste.

Certainly, compared to the original Nyashmallow (previous purchase), it was completely "wa" taste.

The size is small bite size compared to the original.

I think it's an irresistible project for cat lovers.
