●Summery
Shaved ice, known as “Kakigōri” in Japan, is a popular summer treat in Tokyo. It is finely shaved ice, typically flavored with syrup and sometimes topped with condensed milk, fruit, or other sweet toppings.
暑い日本の夏、サイクリングにはあまりいい条件ではありませんが、自転車で東京下町のかき氷店を訪問するツアーはいかがでしょうか？
There are a few shops serving fine shaved ices around Asakusa, where we usually cycle, but they are often too busy. So, we avoid such tourstic shops, and take you to rather good ones locals love to visit.
東京下町サイクリングツアーのある浅草付近には、SNSでも有名なかき氷の店がありますが、いつも長蛇の列。このツアーでは、むしろ地元の人に愛されている店を選んで、夏の味覚を楽しんでいただきます。
かき氷店のほか、東京下町の寺社ふたつを訪問します。
We will visit 1 buddihst temple and shrine during the tour other than shaved ice shops.
●Place to visit
・Matsuchiyama Shoden temple（待乳山聖天）
This temple is a part of Sensoji, founded in 595. There are many images of a “daikon (Japanese radish)” and a pouch in the temple. The daikon represents our minds trapped in deep ignorance, emanating poison of anger, but off by a daikon to temple, that poison will be removed from our The pouch is a symbol of treasure, and it represents the gift of prosperity in business. There is a beautiful garden, which is authentic Japanese style, in the temple. You can ride a small transportation (like a train) to go to the main building instead of walking up stairs.
・Imado shrine（今戸神社）
Founded in 1063, this shrine is now a “Power spot”, that is popular for people who want lovers or marriage partners.
