It was blocked by reeds, but I looked a little inside.

portable shrine was quietly waiting for his turn. There is also a small shrine in the back. This is a child portable shrine. What? There's something like a drum…。

It says "Odawara Ichi" in Naga Japanese lantern.

Yeah…Here, Tsukiji 7-chome, used to be the name of Odawara-cho. In the Edo period, Honodawara-cho of Nihonbashi Fish Market moved and stood up Minami-Odawara-cho.

I almost ended up turning my camera, but I put up with it.…。

I'm still resting for the actual performance, right?

I will pass by gently in hope of meeting you at the festival.

Yeah…At the main festival, one of the ceiling large lions and the tooth black lions at Tsukiji Nami Inari Shrine traveled with Miya portable shrine.…Which lion will appear this year?

Oh, it's raining a little, but let's go to Tsukiji Namishi Inari Shrine!

Maybe you're on standby…。

Wow~! It's big!

It is said that it is a single-wood (Ichiboku-zukuri) that was dug out from a 3000-year-old black cypress wood. It was hard to find a tree. It's the largest lion in Japan, realized by a master craftsman in Ishikawa Prefecture.

Oh? I can see the other side between my teeth. There are a lot of things like wooden sticks in the basket.…。
When I turned back, I saw the back of the lion's head.

This is an ancient event called "Wish Kushi" and writes wish and dedicates it to the ceiling large lion, and the lion will come true.

Oh, a person like the owner of an out-of-market shop is talking to a tourist customer.…。

The Minato kid also drops near him and listens together.…。

"Because it weighs one ton! For example, 100 people carry it, and at most it takes about 10 minutes. So, in turn, in turn, after all, 1000, 2000, 3000…I have to do it."

It is said that there are 4,000 bearers of the ceiling large lion.

Yeah…It's not a thousands of people at once, but a change.…。

Speaking of the festival at Tsukiji Nami Inari Shrine, it is said that during the Edo period, town associations and large shops had a pair of lion heads, and the lion heads formed a long line and paraded around the town.

It is said that a pair of lion heads that have been burned most of them in the Great Kanto Earthquake and the war, and miraculously escaped difficulties are still kept in a safe place.

It seems that the lion's head is golden.

In 1990 and 2002, the ceiling large lion and the tooth black lion were revived in an attempt to bring back the gorgeous lion head that flourished the Tsukiji Lion Festival.

The ceremony began just in main hall.

Today is the festival and the celebration before the main festival, and tomorrow there will be a large festival ceremony, and on the 11th (Sunday), it seems that you will finally visit Tsukijimachi at the Sennukinomiya carrying of miniature shrines Festival.

I hope it will stop raining.…。

The Tsukiji Lion Festival is always three days before and after June 10.

There is only a god on the waterside, and the water is deeply connected and it often rains.

So, which of the ceiling large lion or the tooth black lion will be carried?…。

I didn't know…But they are both?　It's been the first time in four years!　

Have you ever seen photos of the festival scenery that came out of both?

I wish I had asked the master of the out-of-market.…。

While returning from the rainy Tsukiji River Park, I was just looking forward to it.
