Kanagawa Kawasaki-shi Tama-ku Masugata 7-1-2

小学生の子供とプラネタリウム目的で訪問。プラネタリウムは説明をしてくれて今時のヒーリング目的のところとは違い勉強になる。ちょうど火星が近づく頃で火星の説明もあり。ネットの事前予約ができず科学館に直接並んでチケット購入するのが時代に反している。ただ、他の展示のみどころが少なすぎてまったく時間を潰せない。手に触る展示は中止されています。

Kanagawa Pref. Kawasakishi Kawasaki-ku Daishiekimae 2-13-16

This Shinto shrine is about a one-minute walk from Kawasaki-Daishi Station. One of the sanctuaries on the grounds of Wakamiya Hachimangu Shrine, it's known locally as Kanamara-sama. It honors the deities Kanayama-hiko and Kanayama-bime, who legend says cared for the goddess Izanami-no-Mikoto whose lower body was badly burned when she gave birth to a fire deity. As such, worshiping here is believed to ease childbirth and help heal afflictions of the lower body. Shrine festivals include the Suicho-no-Matsuri which recreates a historic drinking contest, the Fuigo Festival to pray for prosperity among blacksmiths and hardware merchants, and the annual Kanamara Festival, where patrons carry portable shrines in the shape of giant phalluses.

This is not the first fertility shrine Ive visited in Japan. I like to seek out odd attractions and this one came up. I visited it while on my way to another temple. Its worth a quick 5 minutes...

Kanagawa Kawasaki-shi Tama-ku Masugata 7-1-3

An open-air museum featuring old kominka houses. It features 25 Cultural Properties that have been transferred to the location and rebuilt, including private homes from the Edo period. They run eight indigo vats, passing down Kawasaki City's indigo dying traditions, and offer easy access to traditional indigo dyeing workshops. There are three workshops available: Handkerchief dyeing, dyeing your own item, and dyeing for groups. Reservations are required for the latter two workshops. They aren't absolutely required for handkerchief dyeing, but it's not a bad idea; if they fill up with group reservations you might be out of luck.

Kanagawa Areas

Kanagawa prefecture acts as an extension of the Tokyo metropolis that spills over into coastal towns, most notably Yokohama city, heavily populated and known for its Chinatown and seaside attractions. Just the right distance for a day trip out of Tokyo, Kanagawa is home to some of Tokyo’s most accessible beaches, including around Kamakura, best known for its Big Buddha. Visitors can also travel a little farther afield for a weekend at Hakone onsen town.
