Ushigome Sochinju Akagi Jinja　牛込総鎮守 赤城神社

-


 ⛩️


Ushigome Sochinju Akagi Shrine is said that in 1300, during the reign of Emperor Go-Fushimi, when Ohiko Hikoroku Shigeharu, a powerful clan member of Ohiko at the foot of Mt. Akagi in Gunma Prefecture, moved to Ushigome, he enshrined the divided spirit of Akagi Shrine, which was the tutelary shrine of his home country, which is said to be the origin of the shrine.


It is said that the shrine, which was located in Tajima Village in Ushigome Waseda (now Waseda Tsurumaki-cho, the location of the former Akagi Shrine), was moved to Ushigome-dai (near the current Ushigome Mitsuke) in 1460 by Ota Dokan, who respected its divine power, and in 1555, it was moved to its current location by Ohiko Miyauchi Shojo.


In 1683, the Tokugawa shogunate added it to the list of Edo Grand Shrines and revered it as the general tutelary shrine of Ushigome. It was called one of the "Three Shrines of Edo" along with "Hie Shrine" and "Kanda Myojin Shrine".


During the festivals of these three shrines, the floats and processions were allowed to enter the inner moat from Takebashi of Edo Castle and exit at Hanzomon.


After that, it was listed as a village shrine in 1873.


However, as the city developed, obstacles such as electric poles and streetlights were created, so the grand parade of floats was held for the last time at the grand festival in 1899.

Tokyo Tower x Tokyo Skytree: Circle of Apollonius

-
Image
Tokyo Skytree and Tokyo Tower are both landmarks of Tokyo, but they differ greatly in height and design. Tokyo Tower is 333m tall, with historical design and attractive night views. Tokyo Skytree is 634m tall, boasting an overwhelming height of more than twice that of Tokyo Tower. Although Tokyo Tower and Tokyo Skytree are similar yet different, there are places where the two towers of different heights appear to be aligned at the same height. Why, even though they are about 8km apart in a straight line?! The answer is a theorem called the Circle of Apollonius. Since it's a circle, there are many places where you can see it!
