"Rilakkuma" the popular character that is somewhat easy-going and soothing, became Chiyoda City's tourism ambassador on August 18th, 2021! In the future, he will introduce Chiyoda City's food, trending shops, historic sites, and so on as its ambassador.
This time, under the theme of a "relaxing girls' trip tour", we asked him to take us on a tour of spots in Chiyoda City.

Tokyo-daijingu ShrinePray for good relationships at Tokyo Daijingu Shrine, famous for being a shrine of matchmaking

#

First, Rilakkuma visited "Tokyo Daijingu Shrine", five minutes from JR and Subway Iidabashi Station. Worshiped as the enshrined deities of "Tokyo Daijingu Shrine" and known affectionately as "Tokyo's Oise-sama" are Amaterasu Sume Okami and Toyouke no Okami. It is the first shrine in Japan to conduct a wedding ceremony in a shrine and is also known for its benefits in matchmaking.

  • #
  • In the precincts of shrine, it is bustling with visitors wishing for good relationships, mainly women, and there are also many kinds of omikuji (paper fortunes) specializing in romance such as the "love fortune" (200 yen), "love letter fortune" (200 yen), and "matchmaking fortune" (200 yen). We also recommend sitting on a bench and taking a relaxing break while reading the result of your omikuji. There are also omamori (amulets) such as the "flower amulet" (500 yen) embroidered with seasonal flowers and the "matchmaking suzuran amulet" (800 yen) resembling the shape of a suzuran that seem as if they would boost your mood just by holding it.
  • Furthermore, only while Rilakkuma is the tourism ambassador of Chiyoda City, Tokyo Daijingu Shrine and Tourism Ambassador Rilakkuma limited edition collaborative wooden plaque is available (500 yen). Write your wish on a cute Rilakkuma wooden plaque by taking a little detour and relax.

  • "Rilakkuma just had a snack a little earlier, but he will be pitiful if we let his stomach growl, so we decided to stop by somewhere for lunch. Rilakkuma visited ""avocafe"", about five minutes away from Subway Jimbocho Station on foot. This is Japan's first avocado specialty cafe opened by the owner who wants to increase the number of fans of avocadoes, which are healthy, highly nutritious, and go well with anything.
    Everything on the menu is made with ripe avocadoes, including dessert. The restaurant, which is decorated to feel warm and cozy, has an avocado color that leaves quite the impression. All about avocadoes, ""avocafe"" is sure to excite all avocado lovers!"
  • There are three types of dishes on the lunchtime menu, "avocado addictive spam rice bowl" (1,000 yen), "avocado Thai curry" (950 yen), and "avocado daily lunch" (1,000 yen). The popular "avocado addictive spam rice bowl" is a dish in which the juicy spam's salty flavor and the avocado's mildness go perfectly and your spoon will be unstoppable. You will lose yourself in its delicious flavor.

It should be alright to have a time tor reward yourself countless times in a day. That's why Rilakkuma stopped when he smelled a sweet scent at "HOCUS POCUS", two minutes away from Subway Nagatacho Station on foot. This is a cafe that claims to be a donut laboratory where customers can encounter novel donuts. Those donuts which are displayed in the stylish cafe very carefully look like even cakes.

  • Rilakkuma was drawn to "strawberry" (500 yen) which has white chocolate and dried framboise topped on dough combined with strawberry tea. "Apricot" (500 yen) has a rich Belgian chocolate accented with the tartness of apricots. The charm of the donuts of "HOCUS POCUS" is that the ingredients and recipes are all exquisite. You can enjoy donuts that have been thoroughly calculated even the balance of the texture and flavor. It would be fun to talk over a cup of carefully-dripped coffee and a donut.
