DSC04036RSG.jpg Ryujin Shrine is one of the precincts of Sumiyoshi Tsukuda-jinja Shirine and enshrines Ryuhime Oga, the god of water.

Later in the year, he enshrined Daibenzaiten at Nihonbashi Shirakiya, and today it is called "Ryuo Benzaiten" and is revered as a god with good luck, rising fortune, thriving business, fulfilling academics, performing arts, and healing sickness.

Every year from late March to early April, Reisai Festival is held on Sunday near the Snake Day, and the cherry blossoms bloom on the grounds, so the Sakura Festival is held at the same time.

This year, a large festival ceremony was held at 11:00 on April 2, and the Sakura Festival was held on April 1 and 2. From 11:00 to 15:00, amazake juice powder is served on the grounds.

At 13:00 on April 2, the performance of the Tsukuda Junior High School Taiko Club was performed, and the sound of a powerful traditional Japanese drum echoed throughout the precincts.

The cherry blossoms in the precincts are not yet in full bloom, but the best time to see the Genpei blooming cucumber on the side of Kagura Hall.

 

 

Tsukishima, Tsukuda, Tsukiji Walking Tour, a fusion of culture and gourmet

[Silver] April 2, 2017 16:00

 Today, we have been introducing Tsukuda from Tsukishima Station on the Yurakucho Line, the town of history and culture "Akashicho", and the treasure trove of food "Tsukiji".

We visited Monja shops in Nishinaka-dori shopping street, melon bread rusk, rice cracker shops, etc., and visited Tsukishima Kannon. 

Unfortunately, it was around 10 o'clock, so the shop wasn't open yet. A foreign model visited a gravure magazine for men and photographed landscapes enjoying a walk in Tsukishima.

 I'm going to Tsukuda. Visit the local museum, Ishikawajima Lighthouse, and visit Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine. After that, customers who buy Tsukudani as souvenirs.

There is a question, "Which is the main family or the original?"

 In response to these questions, he answered, "Because food is a luxury item."

Cross the Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge, see the monument of the birthplace of Aoyama Gakuin University, etc., and enter "Japan's No. 1 Manjusho Shiose".

From the customer, "Oh, there was a shop here! I didn't know! "And so on, and immediately purchased souvenirs. 

The history and culture of St. Luke's Tower, around St. Luke's International University, such as the ruins of the U.S. Embassy, the beginning of Dutch studies, the dismantling Shinsho, the ruins of Takumi Asanouchi's residence, and the birthplace of Ryunosuke Akutagawa, I was very pleased to guide you to the famous store in Tsukiji, a lunch place.
