Shiofune Kannon temple full of blooming flower, Azalea
Shiofune kannon temple is in Ome where is west side of Tokyo. It's countryside.
Mountains, river, and banboo woods are there.
In this season, it is holding flower festival.
This temple was built by a legend woman who was said that she ate mermaid's meat a long long time ago, like over 1000 years ago.
In Japan, there are a lot of this type of stories. She was said she was born in Wakasa, the old name of prefecture next to Kyoto, Fukui.
She had walked around Japan, so she might had be "they", shrine maidens.
She was said she could live forever, because of mermaid's meat. Old Japanese people thought it make people live forever.
Her name was Yao bikuni. Yao means 800, bikuni means sister, maiden.
Shiofune Kannon temple was built in around 650.
It has a festival of Yamabushi. Yamabushi is a kind of monk who do strict training in mountain.
In the festival, they walk on the fire!!!
Back to the topics if flowers, this flower's name is Tstustuji, kind of azalea.
It has many color, pink, white, purple and red.
Round shape is old Japanese garden style.
This area is not so close to station, so scenery has still old Japanese mood, like it used to be.
Among the flowers, there are small path.
On the hill, there is a big statue of standing Buddha.
This is a bell you can ring after paying 100 yen.
The sounds of bell reflect in the hill.
Don't forget about the trees of entrance.
Most of shrine have two tree which are worshiped like god. If you see old tree tied with white rope, people believe these tree are belonged by God.
In old ages, people worshiped big stone as a god. It's nature beliefs like whole human has in their instinct.
Even Flowers don't bloom, the atmosphere of temple is nice.

Temple Fukagawa fudou
Using Sobu line from Tokyo sta, within 15 minutes, there is a temple Fukagawa fudou.
To Fukagawa Fudou, there is narrow path.
Most of all temple and shrine in Japan have this kind of pass which there are cafe, store and restaurant.
This kind of path is called Sandou.
San-dou means birth canal. San means birth, dou means path of baby going from uterus.
The famous Sansou is Omotesandou in Aoyama and Harajuku.
Omotesandou is birth canal of Meiji Jingu shrine.
By the way, this is a branch temple of Narita san Shinshouji temple in Chiba, next prefecture of Tokyo.
As I wrote yesterday's blog, there was a man who rebelled against emperor over 1000 years ago in Kanto erea. Kanto area is Tokyo, Saitama and Kanagawa and so on.
His name is Masakado Taira.
Narita san Shinshouji temple was built to surrender the ghost of him in 939.
In 1881, it was thought the temple was needed a branch in Edo.
So Fukagawa fudou was built.
The house of temple was renovated newly.
In this temple, there is an amazing beautiful tunnel!!!
This is the scenery of it. There are many many many small Fudou Myouou, kind of Buddha, made from woods and being put them into boxes of crystal!!!
Couldn't close your mouth!! How many buddha are there!!
This tunnel was built for pray. So some of them have someone's name.
The rule of visiting temple or shrine, at first you should wash your hands and mouth at well.
In front of them, there must be a box for coin and bell over your head.
Throw your coin to the box, clap your hand twice and close your eyes.
In your heart, you should tell who you are, where you from, and say your wish.
After that, take a bow and leave there.
If you go to Fukagawa fudou, there is a entrance of inside of temple next to the coin box.
Take your shoes, and there is a map.
There is a stone bridge which has light reflection of old India's letter, statues of buddha, roomm,
and crystal tunnel!!
You could definitely feel sanctuary here!
Since this area is old place, there are some interesting shrine, cafe, and so on.
Tomioka Hachimangu is also famous around here. Once a month, they hold antique market.
It's just 2 minutes from Fukagawa fudou.
I went an antique market, it's fan!
After going to there, you could enjoy eating sweats!

Cafe Chopin at Kanda, next to Tokyo sta
It's not ｆranchise, it' s kind of family business cafe. It was opened in 1928.
The reason why this cafe is famous is that Anpress.
An is Japanese sweats which is made by boiled bean and sugar. Press means that hot sand.
 |
| It makes you happy!!! |
When I put it into my mouth, butter 's smell spread though my nose!
Even the heel of the bread have taste of butter, and then, an, sweat bean come after.
It takes you heaven!!
You will be satisfied with such a tasty sand.
Try it! But I should say this cafe allow smoking. The staff care smell of smoking and air cleaner always turn on.
I can't say 100% not smell, but not so strong smell.
This is Japanese problem that the government doesn't ban smoking in any cafe and restaurant.
 |
| An ashtray's figure is cat! |
I want to ban smoking, but still.
The people live around there, the people want to eat Anpress and
the people work around Kanda come to here to have coffee and break!
Off course, the music is always Chopin!
Around this area, there are some famous restaurant. Maybe you can see in your sightseeing books.
Yabusoba, Matsuya and Ankou Isegen are known for ｌong-established over 100 years ago.
 |
| Above pictures is Yabusoba, soba noodle's reataurant. Left below is restaurant of Ankow, kind of fish, Right below is cafe of Japanese sweats. |
Kanda myoujin is the name of it. It has a big festiｖal on 14th May. This is one of the biggest fes in Tokyo.
The right pic let the people know about fes.
The god of this shrine is a man who fought against emperor around 940. In Kanto area, including Tokyo, Saitama, Kanagawa and so on, there are a lot of legend about him.
Kanda is interested area, mixed old and new.
