It's early this year and half is about to pass. It's the turning point of the year.
Since ancient times, at the end of June, Shinto ritual has been held at shrines around the country in order to remove half a year's filth and eliminate evil diseases as "Nago Shinohara E". It is also mentioned in <Engishiki> during the Heian period.
It seems that <Chinowa Gourmet> is often held at this event. There are many historic shrines in Chuo-ku, which can be seen in several areas.
On this day, I visited [Tsukiji Namiki Shrine]. On the afternoon of a holiday when the drops of the rainy season fell quietly, it was a time to look back quietly half a year.
"I hope there will be good things in the second half of this year" ... I just pray for the development of a peaceful and bustling area.

On Sunday, 14th, the last day of the Tsukiji Lion Festival at Namishi Inari Shrine.
It's the festival of resurrection Edo.
The large lion, the Benzaiten tooth black lion, and the town council
The lion head travels around the town of Tsukiji.
The large ceiling lion, the Benzaiten Tookoku lion, are surprisingly large than when they were enshrined.
I thought there was the whole lion head, but it was unexpected that the back half was cut.
The main festival (Hokusai Festival) two years from this year, the 350th anniversary of the shrine
A variety of commemorative events are scheduled.
If you are interested, you will need to check regularly in the future.

The Tsukiji Lion Festival, a summer festival in the Tsukiji area, was held on the 14th (Sun), the first weekend after entering Tokyo.
This festival is originally held once every three years, and last year was that year.
This year, as a celebration of the 350th anniversary of Tsukiji, a large lion head, a specialty of Namiwa Inari Shrine, was made into portable shrine, and a cruising around the town was carried out.
A large number of people gathered, and the lions went around the area.
Remembering that this area started as a new Edo town 350 years ago, when there was no time to enter Tokugawa Edo, it is a time to renew the depth of the culture of Chuo-ku cultivated in history and tradition.
A variety of summer festivals and events continue in other regions. The highlights of the city are still abundant. The fun will be further expanded.

I used to be in Kayabacho before, but now it is in a corner of a residential area slightly off the market of Tsukiji.
Anyway, it's a shop with only shells, and the entrance is like clam digging.
Today, there are large clams, clams, turtle shells, mill shells, scallops, etc.
Depending on the season, there may be turtle hands, Fujitsubo, and Taira shellfish.
Sea urchins come out just by breaking their shells.
I've never seen such a sea urchin.
Other shells are only baked in basic terms, and it is the best to eat anything as they are according to the tide of the land. I don't season it at all, but it's certainly delicious.
The tightening is a shell pot. Just pour the shell and boil it with sake.
Just from the shell, so much! It tasted like that, and it was full of flavor.
At first glance it doesn't look like a restaurant behind the alley, but it is recommended for those who like shellfish.

In the turbulent Showa era, the story of the theater company and the theater that encountered the division of the theater company, the upcoming war, and the Great Tokyo Air Raid are displayed.
Every Saturday, a local Tenmonkan supporter gives a guide commentary.
After viewing the special exhibition, take a leisurely stroll around the Tsukiji area and see the ruins of the Tsukiji Small Theater.
