When I came to Tokyo without doing any homework, I took a casual route. We found that Ningyocho provided free sightseeing buses the night before. One of the stops was Suitemiya. When the sightseeing buses passed by, we found that there were a lot of people, so I got off the car and visited. Until now, I found out that Suitiangong is quite a famous shrine for seeking children and making safe and smooth production. I compiled the relevant information and hoped to provide it to friends who will bring children to Tokyo for tourism, pregnancy, etc. .
Tokyo Suitemiya is currently relocated to Nihonbashi Hamacho
According to the official website of the inquiry, because the Suitengu Palace is about to expire 2 years after the relocation of the Edo period, for environmental and earthquake considerations, small relocation and original site reconstruction have been carried out. At present, it has been relocated to Nihonbashihama-cho. I changed the new location and transportation. The information is organized as follows:
- By train: 13 minutes on foot from Exit A1 of Ningyocho Station (H10) on the Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line
- About a 14-minute walk from Exit A4 of Ningyocho Station (A7) on the Toei Asakusa Line
- 10-minute walk from Exit 5 of Suitengumae Station (Z7) on the Tokyo Metro Hanzomon Line
- 10-minute walk from Exit A2 of Hamamachi Station (S1) on the Toei Shinjuku Line
Tokyo Water Temple Background Introduction Small Classroom
Since the Suiten Palace worshipped Emperor Andoku, Kenremonin (the mother of Emperor Andoku, daughter of Heitokuko), and Nii noni (maternal grandmother of Emperor Andoku and the son of Heijikiyomori), So I will give you a brief introduction to the background so that you can understand it better when you travel.
The 81st Emperor Andoku was the eldest son of Emperor Takakura, and his biological mother was Kiyomori's daughter Heitokuko (kenremonin).Because he has a prominent grandfather, Heiqingsheng, his birth symbolizes that the power of the Heike family has reached its peak.He was less than one year old and was quickly established as a prince. Within a few months, his father, Emperor Takakura, gave him the throne, which also caused the political power to be controlled by his grandfather Kiyomori.However, at that time, Genji raised up troops to oppose the Hei family, and after Hei Kiyomori died of illness, the Hei family of Quan Qing quickly declined.
Yuan Lai Dynasty later conquered the Ping clan and defeated the Ping clan twice.In 1185, the Yuan and Ping armies fought in a decisive battle at Tanpu, and the entire Ping clan was annihilated.The grandmother of the two nuns (usually son, played by Kyoko Fukada in the 2012 NHK Taiga drama Ping Kiyomori) puts the legendary sword on her body, and the legendary seal hung on the emperor’s neck, holding the emperor Ande, and told him " There is also an imperial capital under the waves" ("波の下にも都がございます"), he committed suicide by throwing himself into the sea when Emperor Ander was only eight years old.
After the Battle of Danura, Genyori Dynasty built an Amitabha Mikagedo in order to appease Emperor Antoku’s grievances. The mausoleum near Amitabashi Temple is called Amitabashi Mausoleum. In the Meiji Emperor era, Amitabashi Temple was changed to Akama. Shrine (located in Shimonoseki City, Yamaguchi Prefecture).After that, Emperor Antoku was enshrined as the Kurume Suitengu Shrine (Kurume City, Fukuoka Prefecture, this is the Soonggu), and became the god of water and security. Together with his birth mother, the Remon-in Temple, he was worshipped by Suitengu Shrine. [The above text information is collated fromWater Temple official website,Vichypedia,Baidu】

Bring the child to Shuitian Temple to pray for a safe and smooth growth in his life
The palace can be divided into several points, such as: the shrine, the front hall, the treasure of the treasure, the treasure dog, the kappa, the kappa, and two small shrines. After entering, you will first see the bronze statue of the dog. , Is a combination of mother and child, and the Baosheng Bian Caitian next to the side is one of the seven deities of good fortune, so there are many Japanese who took photos here, and found that if it is a baby, the mother will use a gorgeous kimono cover, if it is Children who can already walk will wear kimono to the scene.
In addition, the Suitian Temple has a smooth prayer service for safe production. You need to fill in the form at the front hall. There are examples of the form for reference on the spot, and then take the prince to the shrine hall, and there will be personnel to assist in praying.Because sometimes parents bring their children into the shrine to worship, family members or friends on the side can take a break in the rest area here, which is also very convenient.Finally, you can bring the children to touch the bronze statue of Zibao dog, so that they can bless the children to grow up safely. Of course, the defensive and earth bells sold by Shenzha can also be used as souvenirs for relatives and friends who are about to give birth and have children. Oh.
At the back of the shrine is the "Purple Beach Shrine." The worship officer of the Kurume Water Palace, Maki Izumi, was formerly known as Yasomi Maki, named Zitan. He was a radical "respecting the king and fighting the barbarian" during the Tokugawa shogunate.The king’s protection against barbarians was born when Japan was locked in for more than two hundred years. The Tokugawa shogunate showed signs of corruption in the same way as the Qing dynasty under the influence of foreign powers. Therefore, other vassal states in Japan began to "respect the king to fall." It is argued that in order to strengthen the country and fight against the barbarians, the shogunate system must be abolished and the government returned to the emperor.Based on some of the above historical backgrounds, this shrine is dedicated to worshiping people of great ambition at that time.
