This time, I will introduce Kitano Tenmangu Shimai Tenjin.
From JR Kyoto Station, take the 50-route city bus and get off at Kitano Tenmangu-mae.
It is said that the 25th is the day on which Michizane Sugawara, the enshrined deity, was born, exiled, and passed away, and a fair is held every month.
It will be held from early morning to evening on December 25th (Sunday) in Tenjin after the last festival of the year. Free.
Daifuku plum, celebratory chopsticks, toso, etc. are given (all for a fee), and many stalls line up in the precincts from early in the morning. increase.
A popular New Year's lucky charm, the "Daifuku Ume" made in the precincts is awarded from December 13th until the end of Tenjin.
“Daifuku Ume” is harvested around June in the plum garden on the precincts of Tenjin, salted in a barrel, and dried in the sun for about four weeks in the summer. It is then sprinkled with salt and stored in barrels again. It is said that if you drink the plums in hot water or tea on the morning of New Year's Day, you will have good health and a long and lucky year. Thank you very much plum.
It costs 700 yen for 6 capsules and sells out quickly, so please purchase early in the morning.
Every year, a signboard of Daifuku plum awarding goes up like this.
Please enjoy Shimai Tenjin.
