The Tokyo Olympics will be held next year, and "Tokyo" is attracting worldwide attention.
This time, we will introduce the sightseeing spots in Senju, Adachi-ku, which will please customers from overseas.
Maybe you can find a japonic world that nobody in Adachi Ward knew.
This traveler
We went to Hungary to visit Forgo, a Japanese enthusiast who loves Japanese culture, and Japanese culture that remains in Senju.
Japanese house Nakamachi house built in the Edo period
free paper"Tokyo ’s Adachi City-Find True Japan"Folgo was interested in" A JAPANESE HOUSE-a Japanese house. "
What kind of house is a traditional Japanese house?
… So
First, go to Nakamachi's house, which has a Japanese house and garden.
After passing through a narrow alley, there was a pre-war building and a lush garden.
ここ「仲町の家」は、展示会やイベントなどが開催され、出会いと交流の場になっています。
Recommended point of "Nakamachi House"
Part 1You can enjoy Japanese houses
You can experience "Japanese houses" built using natural materials such as wood and paper, such as tatami mats, porches, tea rooms and gardens.
Japanese houses that value the connection with nature have earned high praise from architects around the world.
Part 2Concierge tells you about the town
A concierge that knows the town of Kitasenju will give you advice on your travel plans, including sightseeing spots and event information.
[Impression of Forgo]
I felt a very good scent like aroma in the house, probably because it was built using natural things such as wood, paper and grass.
When you sit on this porch and look at the garden full of greenery, it feels like time flows slowly.
Everyone in Tokyo is busy, but here is a luxurious time in a relaxed space.
Create a private space by closing a shoji, or open it to use it widely.
It was surprising to be able to adjust the size of the room with the door.
You think about a Japanese house.

I want to know Japanese gods, Senju Shrine
"I heard that there are many gods in Japan, what does that mean?"
Then, to answer the question of Forgo-san, go to Senju Shrine.
On the approach path, there are one torii gate, two torii gates, three torii gates, and vermilion lanterns.
The concept of "eight million gods" in Japanese Shinto, that is, the idea that gods dwell in all natural objects
It seems that it is rare even in the world that it is still the subject of religion even now.
Here in Senju Shrine, which is the only township in Adachi City,
Susano's life
The soul of Ukanoyuki
To the end company
Superpowers (mostly only)
Imei Nami (Izumi only thing)
Shinada Believe
Sarutahiko Okami
Michizane Sugawara
Kihana Kaiya Himitsu (Kanohana Hime no Mito)
Chief of the scholarship
Yamato Jitsumei (Kano Yamato only)
There are 10 pillars of gods, so you can worship and pray to various gods.
Today, Mr. Kyoka gave a lecture on how to worship (two applause, one applause).
Forgo says, "I've heard that 5 yen is a good offer."
Kyoka: “It's a 5 yen parlor with your friend, so you can feel grateful.”
Request is "marriage"
Ebisu, the god of business prosperity, is also enshrined on the precincts.
This Ebisu is a rare rotation type.
Men turn the statue three times to the left and women turn it to the right.
Around the age, they were stroking Ebisu-sama's chest and pleading for a “marriage”.
[Impression of Forgo]
I was surprised to find such a space in a residential area.
When you pass through the torii gate, you feel a very quiet and sacred atmosphere.
There are large trees on the grounds and mounds that resemble Mount Fuji. It's like a forest in the city.
There were various gods on the same site of the shrine and it was fun.

Lots of cheap and delicious sweets, candy store BOWWOW316
In hope of good relations with Ebisu-sama, the two people seem to be happy to say, "This is where you can meet the people of destiny."
Next time, I walked along Senju's alley to see where to buy it, and found the candy shop BOWWOW316.
A candy store is a place where you can buy sweets at an affordable price.
But it's not just a candy store.
First of all, the appeal of candy is that it is cheap and delicious.
Japanese sweets have a reputation for being delicious all over the world, but you can get them for as little as 10 yen each.
In addition, there are plenty of tricks to tickle children's hearts, such as snacks and lots of extras.
See, touch, taste and enjoy the excitement.
BOWWOW316, which opened in January last year, is a candy store featuring pop and colorful interiors.
The inside of a store like a theme park is just photogenic!
In addition to the 350-360 kinds of sweets that are always displayed, Japanese character goods that are popular overseas are also displayed, so even foreigners who like animation will be pleased.
The life-size door of a popular anime here is worth a look.
Who will come?
"Around 14:00, my child and mom go to kindergarten
Elementary school students around 16:00
After 17:00, college students and members of society
And customers of various ages will come depending on the time zone. "
... Katsumi, the owner of the store, told me that.
This shop is managed by Mr. Hiroyu and her husband. It excites the town of Senju.
[Impression of Forgo]
The store is stylish and cute! !
Since each one is cheap, you will want to buy a lot and taste it.
In Hungary, the snack my mother ate as a child is not sold,
It is enviable that parents and children can eat the same sweets and talk nostalgic ...
Kyoka also said, "I remembered my elementary school days, the faces and conversations of my old friends are coming back ..."
He talked nostalgic.

At the end
Senju is dotted with Japanese culture that we want to introduce to customers from overseas.
It's within walking distance, so you can take a walk and experience the city, history and culture.
The author experienced a homestay from the United States last summer.
I didn't know that there was so much "Japanese culture" in my local place, Adachi-ku
I wanted to know this information sooner.
Do you not go out to look for Adachi City that you do not know?

"Japanese heart" which is Japanese culture.
"Wa" is the sum of man and man, the sum of nature and man, and all harmony.
The kanji "wa" is soft. Calm Calm
