Explore Nagoya’s Mentonji Shopping Street and Shikendo Street

leaveNoritake no MoriAfter that, we continued walking to Shikendo. The distance was farther than the rich man imagined. He walked slowly for about 50 minutes before reaching Shikendo. The rich man’s leg strength was exhausted. Along the way, he would pass the Mentonji Shopping Street first.

Entonji Shopping Street

Probably because of Sunday, the roads in this area were deserted and there were no people there. I went to the shopping street when I saw the portraits of Tokugawa Ieyasu and Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

The rich man arrived at Entonji Shopping Street after 2:00 in the afternoon. Let’s eat something to fill his stomach and take a rest. There is a やまき Tsukemen at the intersection of the shopping street. Let’s try it.

I also order food from a vending machine. The tsukemen noodles are a bit hard, but I still ate them all, and the taste is pretty good.

Because it is Sunday, many shops are not open, so if you want to come here, you need to confirm the time, but there are still some small shops and rich people to take a look.

Four Ways

The Shikendo area is the northeast gateway of Nagoya Castle, so named because of the intersection of four roads. Walking in the alleys of Sijiandao, it feels like being in the Edo period.

During the Edo period, withNagoya CastleThe construction of the surrounding towns was also built, and merchants moved here from Qingzhou City and developed. The merchants who lived here bought and sold daily necessities such as rice, salt, miso, sake, firewood, and charcoal, and used the Horikawa River to transport them. Goods and commodities were very prosperous at that time.

But unfortunately, after a fire broke out in 1,700, the main road was expanded to four bays, about seven meters wide, to help firefighting and trade activities. Therefore, this area is called "Four Paths". An introduction to the history of Nagoya Shikendo.

Also known as the Roof God, it is a shrine set up on the second floor. It is said that it was often flooded in ancient times. In order to avoid flooding, the gods were placed on the second floor. There is also a saying that there was not enough land to set up a shrine in ancient times, so it was set up. On the second floor, please send your own thoughts.

Antique shop and creative flower shop.

Asama Shrine

A shrine located near the entrance to Shikendo. Although the hinterland of the shrine is small, the big trees make people feel the ancient history.

Google Master said that Asama Shrine is one of the Shinto shrines in Japan, and it mainly worships the god of volcanoes, especially Mount Fuji. There are approximately 1,300 Asama Shrines across Japan. Almost all Asama Shrines are within sight of Mount Fuji. If Mount Fuji cannot be seen clearly due to too far away or obstacles, a Fuji mound made of Mount Fuji rocks will be erected in the shrine as Mount Fuji. It's so special!

The rich man feels that the hinterland of Shijian Road is not very big. If you just take a quick tour, you can finish it in about an hour. There are also some small cultural and creative shops in the old streets and alleys that are worth exploring. It is only a short distance away.Nagoya StationAbout 1 km, recommended to friends who like to stroll in the streets of old houses.
