 According to "Takarada Shrine Ebisu God's Engi and Otemmacho", published by the Bettara City Preservation Society of Takarada Ebisu Shrine (omitted).

Takarada Ebisu God is a guardian deity of business prosperity, family prosperity, and fire protection, and reverents are widely spread throughout the Kanto region, and "Bettara City" on October 19 and the Ebisu Shrine Festival on October 20 will be held on both days. Will be In Bettara City, the long-established store is still celebrating Ebisu-ko as an important annual event for merchants who are preparing to approach the end of the year and celebrate the New Year this year. In addition, young people used the congestion of Asazuke radish (bettara) and called the pilgrimage to the pilgrimage women and put them on the sleeves of the kimono while calling them "bettarada" and "bettarada". It is reported that.

 According to a leaflet issued by Takaya in Tokyo, "Origin is the city of offering to Iko" from the middle of the Edo period, the city started to sell fish, vegetables, and Komiya (household miniature shrine) at the gate of Takarada Ebisu Shrine on October 20. As the pickled radish with koji was sold well, it came to be called "Bettara City". ] That's right.

 This year, with my high school classmates, I studied the history and manufacturing of Japanese paper in Ozu Washi's store, purchased Japanese paper products sold in the store, and then went to Betta City. In front of Takarada Ebisu Shrine, there were many worshippers.
