In guardian of children and travelers, which is said to have been dug out from Sanjukenbori at the beginning of the Meiji era, Ginza Izumi Jizoson was moved to our office when Ginza Mitsukoshi was newly built in 1968.

Ginza Hideyo guardian of children and travelers is also one of the tours of Ginza Hatcho Shrine.
