　From Harumi-dori St. on Ginza 4-chome, enter the corner of Tenshodo, enter the alley of Noboru Shinbashi-tei, a famous eel shop, and turn right, and "Hodo Inari Shrine" is enshrined.

In the Edo period, this area was called Yazaemon-cho.　Even in Ginza, where a new building stands in the forest, many people come to visit the Ginza Hatcho Shrine Tour at the end of October to receive vermilion seal stamp.　

Information on history is posted on the right side after visiting.

　Recently, when I came to visit this Hodo Inari Shrine, there was a new discovery. The approach to the shrine was completed. You can pass through. Hodo Inari Shrine is enshrined at the back of the monkey's approach.

　Last year, 2016 was the year of the monkey.　Originally, as "the monkey is the angel of God," he sits like komainu in front of main hall at Hie-jinja Shrine and other places.　Here, a monkey sits and greets you on the approach to the shrine.　The official name is "Hodo Inari Shrine", but the artistic name of this street is "Enmusubi Sando".　When you pass through, a pair of monkeys will welcome you.

It means that you will be connected to the rim.　The person who was in charge of the design was Yoshi Gen Watanabe.

We pray that visitors to Ginza will be connected and happy, and that Hodo will be awarded.　Silver

＊Postscript: You can pass through the Sarui approach.
Immediately, people from the nearby Japanese syllabary and Pencil Museum are taking care of cleaning Inari.

Walking from Harumi-dori St. to Ginza 4-chome corner, you will find Ginza Kanematsu's shop in front of Ginza Mitsukoshi.

It's a specialty store for women's shoes and bags.

It is a decoration that sprinkles something like yellow flowers on a bright green.　It looks like a "canola flower field" that makes you feel the coming of spring.

When you pass in front of the shop, be careful and take a look.

What looks like a flower, and what looks like a lawn looks like something else.

It is a show window decoration that is playful and happy.

　At Namiwa Inari Shrine, those who visit at "Tokyo Fuku Tour" are awarded a seal on a gold leaf folding book.

Participating shrines are eight shrines: Asakusa-jinja Shrine, Torigoe Shrine, Fukutoku Shrine, Namiki Shrine, Kasumori Shrine, Takanawa Shrine, Togoshi Yahata Shrine, and Kamishinmei Tenso Shrine. (Station order from the north of the Toei Asakusa Line).
At the shrines in Chuo-ku, "Mebuki Inari" Fukutoku Shrine (Nihombashi Station) and "Tsukiji's Namiki-sama" Namiki Shrine (Higashi Ginza Station) are participating.

It seems that there will be ten benefits after the tour of the eight companies.

　In addition, at Tsukiji's Namiki Inari Shrine, a "Remnants Hina Shinto" will be held.

　"Remnant Hina Shinto ritual" is to first store the chicks who have finished their role at the shrine, see them by the general public, and then fire them.

Hina doll's "custody" period is from February 4 to March 18.　The exhibition period is from March 20th to 28th.　Please go out when shopping near Tsukiji.

　When my sister stopped by Ginza Mitsukoshi during shopping, she told me that a lion statue was wearing fire clothes and playing a role in the fire prevention campaign.

This photo is here, but it was very nice, and I realized that it protected the city of Ginza.　Thank you, Lion!

According to the website of the Kyobashi Fire Department, one week of the Spring Fire Prevention Campaign from March 1 to 7 is part of that.　Recently, there have been cases where restaurants in hotels in other cities have fired oils and fats sticking to the ventilation ducts of buildings, causing a great fire.　Everyone, let's pay attention to fire prevention.

Lion was only wearing fire clothes on March 1st.

　4 tourists from Hong Kong at Shintomicho Station on the Tokyo Metro Yurakucho Line.　I didn't understand Hong Kong, but I showed the Tokyo Metro service map and confirmed that I would go to Tsukiji Market, and guide me.

On the way, I encountered a foreign woman looking at a map of the information board in front of Tsukiji Station. I've decided to show you along with you.

This woman was a traveler from Santiago, Chile, and had a forced schedule of going to Tokyo Station at 11 o'clock and going to Kyoto by bullet train.

The four Hong Kong people were not able to join our two Spanish conversations, and they entered the out-of-market from Gate Street, saying, "Well." The Chilean woman is "Chilena". He was a beautiful person.

We received a kind reception at "Platto Tsukiji", received a map, and told the general public that they could not enter the Central Wholesale Market until 10:00.

In front of Namishi Inari Shrine, "Hi, Cheese!"　We explained the exterior of Tsukiji Market and visited the shop of "Uogashi Yokocho".

The staff of "Platto Tsukiji" can enter "Tsukiji Fish Bank" in principle at 9 o'clock for the general public, but recently it is vacant, so it is advised that admission is OK even early, Visit the seafood at the store.　An octopus is called "prupo" in Spanish.

She was also watching the quarters of the tasty big tuna.

The restaurant on the 3rd floor of the "Tsukiji Fish Bank" Odawarakan is open from 7:00 am. For a moment before entering the Central Wholesale Market, please drop in at "Tsukiji Fish Bank".

Restaurants are "seafood bowl", "Chinese cuisine", fried food", "CURRY", and "Cafe".

"Breakfast on the Tsukiji Fish Bank!"　　I think this will be a new fashion. Closed on Sunday, public holidays, and Wednesday (partly closed).　Click here for information on Tsukiji Outer Market and "Tsukiji Fish Bank". http://www.tsukiji.or.jp/

　"Spring is a little bright on the mountain that turns white in the spring, and the thin clouds fluttering purple," is a passage from "Pillow Soko" written by Seishonogon.

Speaking of "Akebono in Ginza", it is famous for Japanese sweets such as Shio Daifuku and Ichigo Daifuku and rice crackers, but since the end of February, a fine Hina doll has been displayed.

It's also perfect for this season.

"Sakuramochi" and "Hina Arare" are on sale.　Ideal for having a relaxing time in spring when spending time with children and grandchildren.

If you check the company name of "Ginza Akebono" on the website, you can check it.

　In winter, near the Ginza 4-chome intersection immediately after the end of the war, where the smell of the burning remains still remains, Oshiruko Summer was born as an oyster ice shop in winter.

At that time, sweets were very valuable, and it seemed that the hearts of those who were exhausted in the defeat were softened and became the basis for vitality for tomorrow.

The desire for "a new dawn of Japan" is included in the name "Akebono".
