Hanazono Shrine

The garden shrine is also a quite large place. The red architectural structure is very welcome. This shrine is also the most famous place near Tokyo, Japan. The shrine is full of unique religious content inside and outside. It is the best to walk.

Garden Shrine is hidden in Shinjuku city, if you don't pay special attention, it is easy to ignore it. Although the shrine is small in size, the red bird house, the praying wooden horse and the unique Japanese imperial guard are very distinctive.

Shinjuku Garden God Festival, the location is within 10 minutes walk from Kabuki Hall, many people! Come and have a lively experience the atmosphere! There are many vendors outside the shrine, grilled salmon, cream potatoes, orange sugar gourds, wheel cakes, Japanese fried noodles, roasted, Kanto boiled, roasted birds, roast beef, fried chicken thighs and so on. It is delicious.

Garden Shrine is a shrine seldom known to tourists. We also invited a tour guide to take us to the shrine. On the street of Shinjuku Kabuki, it is as quiet as Shinjuku Kabuki during the day, but as long as there are festivals or Sundays, there are so many people. We went there on Saturdays, so we went for two consecutive days. On weekdays, the Garden Shrine is quiet in the midst of the bustle day and night. It is small in size, but there are also some typical red bird houses, wooden horses and imperial guards. There are several cherry blossoms in the yard. The cherry blossoms here are much taller than those in other places.

This event is held every November in Tokyo at several famous shrines, and I first felt it when I came to the Garden Shrine in Shinjuku. Later, I also deliberately learned about the origin and significance of Xishi on the Internet: "Xishi" is a unique activity in Kanto, which has continued from the Edo era to this day. The meaning is to pray for the opening of the business and the prosperity of business. There is also a saying that this was a previous activity of Tokugawa Kakamakura in the Suga country, and was introduced to Japan as Kakamakura entered Edo. As the god of martial arts, the faith was converted into the patron saint of merchants. With the improvement of the epidemic, I hope to open the entry visa as soon as possible. In the future, everyone can also have the opportunity to feel the unique cultural atmosphere here.

A beautiful place to visit.
