In the past, it was popular to grow rice, and the harvested white rice and mugwort were kneaded into balls to make mugwort mochi, which was sold to the devotees who came to worship Shakti.

In particular, it is said that in the movie "The Story of Injiro", the hometown of the main character Injiro, who sells straw cakes, is based on the Takagiya. The long-established takakiya has storefronts on both sides of the approach, facing the direction of the emperor, the shop on the right sells mochi dumplings and confectionery biscuits, and the Japanese restaurant and sweets house on the left.

The most famous thing in the store is the black honey bracken cake with bean flour, which makes people can't stop eating it. In addition, the fruit powder with red bean paste is also good, and the traditional Japanese dessert is topped with a ball of vanilla ice cream, and the eclectic taste of Japanese and foreign is very memorable.

I heard that the late actor Atsumi Kiyoshi who played Injiro, his favorite dish was the Yamato family's Tendon. The restaurant boasts freshly fried prawns and vegetable tempura, which are covered in a sweet, rich sauce and served with hot rice, so it's no surprise that they have a loyal following.

When you walk to the end of the approach, you can see "Shibamata Shakti". While many shrines and temples in Japan are in a calm and simple style, the buildings of Shibamata Shakti are carved in many and are particularly exquisite, and each piece is like a beautiful work of art, which makes people stop and gaze at it again and again.

These wood-carved birds, beasts or figures are lifelike, with the most natural texture of wood, carved with exquisite carving, giving people a very warm texture.

Founded in 1629, it is a Nichiren sect temple founded by the Venerable Master Nichiei. At the time of its opening, the statue was originally enshrined with the statue carved by the Nichiren sage, but it is said that the statue disappeared in the middle of the Edo period, and it was not until 1779 that the ninth-generation abbot of Shosadari-in Temple, Hissein Shoko, accidentally found the statue on the beam while renovating the main hall.

The day of the lost and recovered was Gengshen Day, and the Venerable Master felt that this day was related to the Emperor Shakti and was an auspicious day. In the second year after the statue was found, there was a drought and a plague, and according to legend, the Venerable Master took the statue to visit many places and eliminated disasters and diseases wherever he went. Now every Gengshen Day, people will come one after another to pray for the elimination of disasters and diseases.

Take a break at Yamamoto-tei, which has a romantic atmosphere of Taisho, and enjoy tea while admiring the beautiful Japanese garden. Yamamoto-tei is a nearly 100-year-old building that combines seoin-zuku architecture and Western architectural styles.

Built at the end of the Taisho period, Yamamoto Pavilion was originally the residence of Einosuke Yamamoto, the founder of the local Yamamoto Workshop, and was later rebuilt many times in the early Showa period, leaving a strong blend of Eastern and Western cultures.

The most striking thing here is the Japanese garden, and you can enjoy the beautiful scenery from different angles from each of the simple and elegant Japanese-style rooms in the building. In 2016, Yamamoto-tei was ranked third in the U.S. garden out of 900 places nationwide.

The center of Tokyo, centered around the Imperial Palace, was originally an area where samurai residences were concentrated, and this area was called "Yamate Mansion". To the east of the Yamate area, there are many places where merchants and craftsmen live, and these common people who can only live on cloth and vegetables are called Shitamachi.

For the three generations of local Shitamachi people, such as cobblers and blacksmiths, they can be called true craftsmen without leaving overnight money. They believe that as long as they have the craftsmanship to make elaborate masterpieces, they can make money at any time.

This value has been passed down to this day, and the hero who represents this value is Injiro. "The Story of Injiro" is a series of comedies produced from 1969 to 1997. Born in Shibamata in Katsura District, Injiro is a thug who is a thug who is not doing his job and lives in a foreign country to set up a stall and sell things. He didn't make much money by going out to set up a stall, so he could only eat and sleep in the open air, but he was not alone, because his lovely little sister and uncle and aunt were waiting for his prodigal son to return.

He is amiable, reasonable, uneven, and bold, but his knowledge is shallow and his words and deeds are crazy, so whenever he comes home, he always makes a mess and makes jokes. Whenever people make fun of Injiro's Ma Daha, he pulls down his face, and his expression is the funniest at this time, which often makes the audience laugh.

Every time I met a poor woman in a foreign country, I would like her, and even let her stay overnight in her hometown in Shitamachi. But these women often have lovers, and his dreams come to naught, and even then he slaps his swollen face and becomes fat, and finally packs up and sets out on the journey again. This cliché lasts for 48 episodes, and although it is a cliché, it is very popular.

The so-called life is like a play, drama is like life, this movie has been acting for 26 years, from the Showa era to the current Heisei era, actor Atsumi Kiyoshi has played all the joys and sorrows in Injiro's life, and also performed the changes in life in that era.

There are many movie scenes in the museum, some of which are full-size and some are miniature models, but these are not just movie scenes, these are real microcosms of the daily life of the society of that era. I'm not a movie fan, but I'm fascinated by the things that are shown at the museum. A miniature model of the past street scene of Chai You Old Street, and the scene of the grandmother of the pancake shop baking senbei, is so vivid and delicate.

For example, when Injiro left home in a bad mood because of a quarrel with his father when he was 16 years old, his sister Sakura chased him to the station platform and said goodbye to Injiro reluctantly. Not only is there a dialogue between the two people, but the train also has doors that open and close, and it can be driven, which is very memorable.

At the back of the park, there is an embankment built along the Edo River, with a large meadow and a great view of the beautiful Edo River. Nearby is the Yakiri Ferry, a famous ferry port that has been preserved since the Edo period. Interested visitors can enjoy the ride during business hours and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the river as they move slowly along the rowing sway.
