懐かしい味を今に伝える"菓子屋横丁"
今は数少なき駄菓子屋さんが並ぶ商店街"菓子屋横丁"が川越にはあります。
この菓子屋横丁ができたのは1796年、養寿院の門前町として栄えるこの町で鈴木藤左衛門が江戸っ子好みの気取らない菓子を製造したことが始まりでした。
そして、当時2〜3軒の駄菓子屋が暖簾分けによって店舗を増やし、関東大震災で被害を受けた東京に代わり駄菓子を製造供給するようになりました。
現在では20軒近くの駄菓子屋が、当時の面影を残しつつ菓子屋横丁を守っています。

Unique shops can be found in Akihabara, which is the center of Otaku culture.
In the Akihabara Gachapon Hall, many gachapon machines can be found. (might be gachapon or gachagacha depending on region)
Inserting a coin (100~500yen), rotating the lever "gachagacha", and capsules containing figurines or keychains will come out with a "pon"! This is what gachapon is.
The pounding excitement you get while opening the capsules captivates both children and adults.

There are a staggering number of unusual shops in Akihabara, the center of otaku culture.
In fact, at Akihabara Gachapon Kaikan, a lot of gachapon (capsule-vending machines) are set up. (In some places, the machine is called gashapon or gachagacha.)
Gachapon is a machine that, when you insert a one-coin (100-500 yen) and turn the lever (producing the sound "gachagacha"), a capsule with a figure, a keychain, a seal, etc. will fall out with the sound "pon!"
Children and adults alike are attracted to the excitement, the heartthrob, etc. that results from not knowing what you get until opening the capsule.

ガチャポンにはドラゴンボールやエヴァンゲリオン、ワンピースなど様々なものがあり、中には非常にハイクオリティな商品が入っています。
日本ではスーパーマーケットやコンビニなど至る所にガチャポンが置いてありますが、ここのお店は種類が豊富なことや、町中で子どもに紛れて買うのが恥ずかしいから、などの理由で数多くの人々に愛されています。
この秋葉原ガチャポン会館には壁一面を埋め尽くす様々なガチャポンがあり、その台数はなんと500に及びます。
毎週違ったシリーズのガチャポンを導入しているそうです

風雷神門を潜り浅草寺前に着くと、中央に人だかりができていることでしょう。
そして、そこにいる人たちは皆、線香の煙を頭や肩・腰などにあてています。
というのも、「この大香炉の煙を体の悪い部位にあてるとご利益がある（良くなる）」と言われているためです。
しかし、「煙を当てると頭が良くなる」と間違えて伝えられることが多く、頭にだけ当てて帰ってしまう人を多数見かけることでしょう。
また、正しくは自分の線香の煙にのみご利益があると言われているため、ぜひ線香を購入して体験することをオススメします

Going through the gate of the wind god and the thunder god, you reach in front of Sensoji , and you see a crowd in the center.
And all the people there are taking burn incense-sticks smoke on their heads, shoulders, hips, etc.
Because it is said if you take the smoke from this big incense burner on your body's bad parts, you will be given divine blessing.
But some people misunderstand if they take the smoke only on their heads, so they return after taking the smoke only on their heads. Maybe you may see like the scene a lot.
And I will recommend you that you bring your own incense sticks you buy because it is said that divine's blessing is given only their own incense sticks smoke.

After passing through Kaminari Jinmon, in from the Asakusa temple, you will see many people gathering in the middle.
Those people are putting the smoke of incent sticks on their head, shoulder or back.
That’s because it is said that “the smoke of this big incent burner will heal the bad parts of the body when you expose.”
Yet some people mistakenly believe that “when you put the smoke on the head, it will make you smarter.” Therefore there are many of them who only put the smoke on their head and go home.
More precisely, the smoke is said to have healing power but only the smoke from your own incent sticks. Therefore I recommend you to buy incent sticks and burn them as a great experience.

古代においては国政の重要事項や後継者を選ぶ際に神の意志を占うために行っていた籤引きが起源になっており、現在では神仏に祈って吉凶を占うものになっています。
浅草寺のおみくじは、円柱状の筒を振って出た棒に書かれている番号の棚からくじを受け取る方式です。
内訳は、大吉・吉・半吉・小吉・末小吉・末吉・凶の７種類であり、吉はお守りとして持ち帰り、「凶を引いてしまった場合のみ」写真右側の結び棒にて、おみくじを結びます。
神社によってくじの引き方や、結ぶみくじの種類が異なるので注意が必要です。

Lottery originated in the olden days to carry out important matters and to choose successors by the will of god. Presently, it is possible to pray to gods and budhas for fortune.
In Asakusa, the method used is to shake the cylinder tube and check the number of the stick that slips out. There is a shelf to receive your fortune.
The 7 kinds are excellent fortune, good fortune, half fortune, small fortune, fortune, no fortune and bad fortune.
In the event of getting a bad fortune, to protect your luck, you tie and hang up the fortune slip on the pole.
The lottery style and tying style differs according to the shrines.

Here you can also enjoy variety of Japanese sweets. Take time and relax in the house of real Shitamachi (down town) style if it suits your schedule.
Kaki-gori (a chilled sweet made with shaved ice flavored with syrup) is quite popular in the summer time. The natural ice made by Asami-reizo is used, which you can eat in only 3 places in Japan. This impurity-free ice full of minerals is made from the mountain runoff water in the Hodo-zan (Mount Hodo) of Nagatoro area. The ice shaving, Kakigori, made with a traditional method since the Heian Period is a must-taste if you are visiting in summer.
Take a bite of the crisply baked dough, then you will find full of crushed bean jam inside.
