I would like to introduce "Tachibana Inari Shrine" in Ningyocho 3-chome, where the name of "Tachibana" is the same as my blog name.
This area was where there was a 1,500 tsubo worship house given by the Shogun's family by Genya Okamoto, the third shogun Tokugawa Iemitsu's favorite doctor. A monument is still standing today.
Genji built a rented house in the place of worship and lent it to the common people.
It is a place where the concubine house of "Otomi-san" of Kabuki Kyogen "Yowanasuke Ukina Yokogushi" was set to have been located.
Hachiro Kasuga's hit song "Otomi-san" is also famous.
Tachibana Shrine moved from Gotenyama in Minato-ku to Edo Castle, and was further moved to Ningyocho with Genji. Currently, it is not owned by a specific individual or company, but is popular as Inari in the town.
Near the shrine, there is the Hamada Family, a restaurant that earned three stars when the Michelin Guide was first published in Tokyo. The current building is clean from the outside, but when I was a child, I remember being surrounded by blackboard walls.
Yoshihiro Mita, the owner of the Hamada family, is also the president of Meijiza, and your daughter is Yurika Mita, a Fuji TV announcer.
There is also Sanko Inari Shrine, which is said to have been born in Rat Kozo Jirokichi. This is just recently introduced on the blog on January 26, 2017, so please refer to the detailed explanation.
And there is a famous knife shop "Ubukeya".
A long-established store founded in 1783, the name "Ubukeya" was named after the reputation that the blades hit by the first generation can be shaved even with "Ubumo".
In addition, there used to be "Ningyocho Suehiro" (closed in 1970).
At present, the building of the Yomiuri Information Service is built, but a stone monument of "Yoseki Ningyocho Suehiro Ruins" is embedded at the foot of the entrance.
This area is close to Horidome and a little far from the center of Ningyocho, but if you take a walk in Ningyocho, why not take a look at it?
