Takarada Ebisu God is a guardian deity of business prosperity, family prosperity, and fire prevention, and the reverence is widely throughout the Kanto region, with `` Bettara City '' on October 19 and the Ebisu God Festival on October 20 every year. Will be held grandly. Bettara City 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 the pickled radish (bettara) and called it to the worshiped women and put it on the sleeves of the kimono while calling it Bettada, so it became the name of Bettara It is reported that it has become.

　According to a leaflet published by Takaya Co., Ltd. in Tokyo, the city started on October 20 at the gate of Takarada Ebisu Shrine in the middle of the Edo period in offering City, where fish, vegetables, and Komiya (household miniature shrine) were sold.　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 method of Washi in Ozu Washi's store, purchased Washi products sold in the store, and then went to Bettara City.　In front of Takarada Ebisu Shrine, there were many worshipers.

　Edoya is a specialty store for brushing, founded in 1718 in the Edo period.

Not only for the kitchen, but also for beauty brushes were sold like flying.

From Takarada Ebisu Shrine to the vicinity of Sugimori Shrine, local shops, etc.

A lot of shops were open, and we enjoyed shopping and eating and drinking.

In the morning of October 26, I went only to "Yagenbori" for a great bargain.

At the entrance to the approach, I asked my brother distributing flyers for Happy Halo Vienna and the fair Festival.　It is said that you can get one lottery ticket for 500 yen.

Small children and mothers seemed to have fun picking up bamboo dragonflies and blowing a whistle.

Today was after three sightseeing ambassadors of Chuo-ku handed out flower pots. When I was sorry, I encountered shopping in my clothes after work.

　Until now, the smoking area next to Ginza 1-chome police box, which has been a place for smokers to relax for a long time, has been greened and ceramic chairs have been installed.

　Along with the square on the banks of the radish, there was a place where you could sit down slowly.

　If you get tired during shopping near Ginza or Kyobashi, you can sit down a little and rest.

Kyobashi was the place where the first bridge from Nihonbashi to Kyoto was located.　I am delighted that those who travel long will be able to take a short break.
