On a weekday when I took a break, I went to Tsukiji. Even on weekdays, there are many tourists in the out-of-office market, and it seems that the relocation of the market will not affect it. On the way back, I stopped by Tsukiji Honganji. There was also a monument that was not listed in "Chuo-ku Monoshiri Encyclopedia". To be honest, I didn't notice until now.
Photos of the Shinran superior statue and the monument to the memorial of land traffic martyrs.
The statue of "Shinran Jojin" was built as the founder of the Jodo Shinshu sect, the sect of Tsukiji Honganji. The "Track and Field Traffic Martyrs' Memorial Monument" was built in 1969 by the Land Traffic Martyrs' Memorial Construction Party, with Mikasamiya honorary governor, in mourning the victims of traffic accidents and wishing to extinct traffic accidents. .
If you look around slowly, you may find unexpected discoveries.
