水天宮 / Suitengu Shrine

最近周りに妊娠中の友達が多数のため、安産で有名な水天宮へ。この辺りは週末になると妊婦さんと赤ちゃんでものすごく賑わいます。
犬はお産が軽いので犬のように・・・、ということで「子宝いぬ」が。その隣には「安産子育河童」がいて「頭なでると賢くなるよ」とお寺の人が教えてくれました。

Suitengu Shrine is a place to pray for a healthy pregnancy. I have a few friends who are pregnant at the moment so I went there for them. The street near shrine gets packed with pregnant mothers in the weekend.
We have a saying that "Dogs give birth easily" so there is a statue of a dog. So people pray there to also have an easy birth.
