▼Let’s visit Nagatoro together!!

Chichibu and Nagatoro! Recommended plan 【Nagatoro edition】

You can enjoy "Chichibu" "Nagatoro" from the metropolitan area on a day trip. There is nature, old-fashioned buildings,...

Chichibu Shrine

“Chichibu Shrine” is one of the three major power spots in the Chichibu area.
You can arrive from Chichibu Railway “Chichibu station” in about 3 minutes on foot.

The sculpture on “Chozuya” is superb.
“Chozuya” is a place for ritual cleansing of hands and mouth with water when visiting shrines.

A sacred air drifts through the “Shin-mon（神門）”.

If you visit the main hall, let’s appreciate the sculpture made around the main hall.

Can you see “Gingko” on the right side?
The ginkgo was hand-planted by His Imperial Princess Chichibu-miya Setuko .
It seems to be like a woman ‘s plump breast, so it is called’ Breast Ginkgo ‘.

There is “Hahaso-inari shrine”.

A small torii were dedicated to “Hahaso-inari shrine”.

Walking through the streets with country registration tangible cultural property building

Old-fashioned buildings remain in Chichibu.
Some shops are active.

In “Kuromon-dori street” there are Soba restaurants and cafes registered for cultural properties(*￣∇￣*)

I love this “Restaurant Parry”.

Can you see a small shrine in front of building?
It seems to call “Ujigami-sama”.
The shop name of “Yasudaya” in the back and the lattice window are also nice.

Although the name is “Parry”, the menu is “bowl”, “Western food”, “Chinese food” and like a mass eatery.

I decided to eat chicken rice.
On the plate (hidden in association) “Parry” logo is stamped, it is fashionable.
※It is not shown in the photograph…

There was a chair for the cat beside the stove.
I Recommend for those who feel crushing in the word “Showa Retro”.
※ Because there was not “Chichibu specialty gourmet”, we do not recommend to those who want to eat “local cuisine”

“Koike cigarette store” has beauty that seemed to come shopping, without anything to buy.

Jigen-ji temple

“Jigen-ji temple” is known as “Eye Temple”.
The sculpture of the main hall is splendid.

Many ema designing “character of eyes（め）” were dedicated.
