A little travel guide with Tabi
Start slowly, with one place.
Find a view and a small meal.
鶴ヶ島市
Follow the rainmaking tradition of the Suneori area in Tsurugashima. Shirahige Shrine and Kandachigaike Pond are linked by this tradition; the giant dragon procession is an occasional event, not a permanent display.
This guide covers places within Tsurugashima, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.
01 · EXPLORE
Two different places: start with whichever interests you.
A first-visit stop
白鬚神社
This shrine is where the dragon is made and the rainmaking procession begins. The large image on this page shows the pond, not the shrine. Distinguish an ordinary visit from an event visit and check current city notices.
Getting there
Check the current approach and return transport on the map.
02A first-visit stop
雷電池
The photograph shows the water and wooded edge of the pond where the procession ends. On an ordinary visit, stay on public paths around it. Event participation and entering the water are separate from everyday sightseeing.
Getting there
Check the current approach and return transport on the map.
02 · A LITTLE BITE
The local JA magazine features saffron photographed in Tsurugashima and describes its use in dishes such as paella. If seeking it as an ingredient, check its origin and current stockists; this does not promise a permanently available restaurant dish.
