The first day tour is a spring tour

"Thinking Hanasaki, bear fruit"

From March 1st to March 25th of the third afternoon, the first day tour of the six shrines in Nihonbashi is being held.

Hatsuma is a special day for Inari, a day related to Inari Ogami enshrined at Mt. Inari on the first "noon day" of Wado 4 (711) and February (former March). Day. "Hatsuno" during the Edo period was a major event for Edo kids as a lively festival with Kagura and music.

I went around Inari Shrine on a sunny day like spring suddenly.

 

Sugimori Shrine

Sugimori Shrine's first noon tour is a spring fortune tour

It was founded a thousand years ago when Edo was still called Hara of Musashino. In the Edo period, it was a shrine that was allowed to "rich lottery", which is said to be the source of the current lottery. The lottery was a pleasure of the common people of Edo who dreamed of a thousand money. In 1920, Tomizuka (stele) was erected as a memorial. The prayer festival is held every year at 10:03 (Tomi) on September 2 (the day of the lottery), and a paper guard with Tomizuka-zu is awarded.

One of the Nihonbashi Seven Lucky Gods, the Ebisu God is enshrined, and the Ebisu God Festival is held on October 19 and 20, and the Bettara City is held in fair.

Inari, Kasama Shrine

Kasama Inari Shrine's first noon tour is a spring fortune tour

It was separated from Kasama Inari Shrine in Ibaraki Prefecture, one of Japan's three largest Inari shrines, and was located in the residence of the former feudal lord Makino Narusada during the Edo period. The fifth shogun, Tsunayoshi Tokugawa, often visits with his mother, Katsura Shoin. Also known as "Mon Saburo Inari". Mon Saburo is the third of the four fox brothers with gods in old tales. The brothers lamented that his fellow fox would do evil to others, and decided to go to various places in Hitachi to exil and open land, and Mon Saburo went to Kasama to protect the mountains. Various places flourished with the power of brothers and later worshiped as gods. There are lots of foxes in the precincts.

There was a Omikuji where my wish came true in lucky colors. I have a small talisman made of green thread in Omikuji, which is marked with "green" and written as "people of freedom." It seems that green will call fortune in the coming season.

Suehiro Shrine

The first noon tour of Suehiro Shrine is a spring fortune tour

It has been enshrined near here for more than 400 years and was the deity of Yoshiwara. It worships Bishamonten, a god who gives luck and avoids disasters. Since a fan was discovered during the construction of main hall, it became an auspicious company name. The fan remains as a sacred treasure.

Since there was a "fire extinguishing house" in Hamacho, the religion of the fire extinguishing is also strong, and the stone monument of "Hagumi" is dedicated to the shrine and still exists.

In addition, there is `` Suehiro Toku no Stone '' at the base of a large Shii tree, and after worshiping, put money on the stone, put a wish, and if you have that money, you will accumulate virtue luck and spread even if you use it That's right.

Matsushima Shrine

Matsushima Shrine's first noon tour is a spring fortune tour

It is said that this name was given because blue pine was overgrown in Kojima in the cove at the time of its foundation. In the Edo period, a play town spread around the area, so doll craftsmen, kimono merchants, Kabuki actors, geisha, and other local gods were enshrined. There are 14 gods in shrine hall, including the great power god. In November, "Rooster Market" is held and is full of many people.

Hie-jinja Shrine

Hie-jinja Shrine's first noon tour is a spring tour

It is the resting place of portable shrines of the Shinto Festival in auxiliary shrine of Sanno Hie-jinja Shrine, where the Tokugawa family reverence was a great guardian of Edo Castle.

These guardian dogs look up and are excited. After the Great Kanto Earthquake, it was dedicated to improving luck.

In addition, it is located in a corner surrounded by securities companies next to Kabuto-cho, and there is a "cub protection" that resembles a vegetable turnip. I hope both luckily and stock prices will rise.

Fukutoku Shrine

The first day tour of Fukutoku Shrine is a spring tour

At Fukutoku Shrine, we had you pray for the first day festival. There is a table for offering, such as fried or sake, and you can write your name on the paper, take a commemorative photo, and offer it to Kamimae. On this day, we offered Sokaya's rice cracker in Yokocho, amazake.

Mr. Miyaji gave me the congratulatory words. The reason why there is a fox at Inari Shrine is that it catches rats who eat rice. The cat is said to be naturalized species from China, and a fox has been protecting it since ancient times.

Fukutoku Shrine is known for visiting Ieyasu Tokugawa and Hidetada Tokugawa, and when the second shogun, Hidetada, visited the torii gate with skin in sawtooth oak, it is said that it was named "Mebuki Inari."
