Ningyocho Sugimori Shrine, Reitaisai festival once every three years! We are recruiting portable shrine bearers.

[Shiba Inu] April 28, 2018 09:00


Sugimori Shrine, which has been around for nearly 1000 years since its foundation, is also known as Edo Mimori (Sugimori, Yanagimori, Kasumori) and Edo Mitomi (Sugimori, Yushima, Taninaka Tennoji). I'm familiar with Betara City. As the Seven Lucky Gods of Nihonbashi, it is worshiped as a spiritual experience in the lottery. This year, the annual festival will be held once every three years at Sugimori Shrine. It was the last Reitaisai festival in Heisei, and there is also a large carrying of miniature shrines.

 
What is the schedule?

 
Thursday, May 17
Evening Palace

  18th (Fri) Headquarters carrying of miniature shrines

  19th (Sat) Children carrying of miniature shrines Children fair

 
It's a coincidence.

 
We are currently looking for help with festivals and portable shrine bearers. Regardless of gender and age, those who are not neighborhood associations and those who live far away can apply! You can also use the neighborhood association's half-wearing and shower after the festival. For more information, look here. It is on a first-come, first-served basis, so if you are interested, please contact us as soon as possible.

 
Sugimori Shrine is
located in Horidome-cho, between Ningyocho and Kodemmacho. This used to be the cornerstone of Horiwari, the cornerstone of Edo logistics. There are still many narrow and hollow roads that remain today. It is often not noticed because it does not face the main street, but it is a quiet place where the Edo atmosphere and Showa atmosphere remain. There are plenty of good points of shrines in areas that are not tourist destinations.

 
Shrines with many narrow roads...So it's a shooting spot! You can take a picture of a mysterious shrine in the background of a big city. There are many cheap and delicious shops in fair today. I think you can enjoy it all day while brushing around Ningyocho.

 
Please come and visit Chuo-ku, where the early summer is finally coming and the festival season begins.
