Nihonbashi Seven Lucky Gods, early morning bicycle turn

[Kenken] June 24, 2014 14:00

One of my favorite things is to go around the city early in the morning by MY chari (bicycle).

On this day, we had a "chari walk" in the so-called "Nihonbashi Seven Lucky Gods" in the neighborhood of Ningyocho.

Even if you say "Seven" Fukujin, you go around a total of eight shrines. It seems that there are two shrines dedicated to Ebisu, so it seems that it is regarded as more thankful.

Koami Shrine enshrines Fukurokuju and Benzaiten because it departs from home before 5 o'clock and is first located closest to home. There is "Senrai Benten" on the left side after entering.

From Koami Shrine, go semi-clockwise, next is Chanogi Shrine. You are worshiping Hotei-sama.

This is the atmosphere of a shrine in the middle of the city, a valley of buildings.

Tengu Shrine, which enshrines the third Benzaiten and is famous for giving birth and giving birth to children, has been temporarily relocated near Hamacho Park due to new construction.

Matsushima Shrine (Otori Shrine), which enshrines great power gods, is just a shrine in the middle of the city. The first floor of the building is a shrine.

Suehiro Shrine, which enshrines Bishamonten, is particularly beneficial for fighting and avoiding disasters.

It is said that the sixth Kasama Inari Shrine was separated from Hitachi Kasama Shrine, the three major Inari shrines at the end of the Edo period. It worships the god of longevity, Kotobukijin.Kasama Inari.JPG

Sugimori Shrine worships Ebisu God. This shrine was also famous as a place for lottery performances, which was popular during the Edo period. It seems that the proceeds were used for the renovation of shrines and temples even though it is a lottery.

This is the 8th place to walk around Ningyocho in the early morning by bicycle. Takarada Ebisu Shrine is also a shrine dedicated to Ebisu God.

Ebisu God, located in the center of altar, said, "It is said to be a work of Unkei or Jingoro left and is worth a look!" I looked into it, but the door of the altar was closed tightly (laughs).

"Nihonbashi Seven Lucky Gods" goes around by bicycle. It was a quick turn in less than 2 hours, is there any benefit? I think it will have some effect on exercise....。

On the next occasion, I would like to ask you slowly one by one.
