Geocache Description:


Funabashi Grand Shrine is a candlestick in Funabashi-city, Chiba.
In the days of Edo, there was the bell of the all night in the Funabashi Grand Shrine, and it was done in an aim when I sailed the coast in the night.
This candlestick becomes the structure that put a reflecting mirror together to the oil lamp of the source of light, and when the light reached it to 11km ahead, it is said, and, as for the structure, the first floor and the second floor are Japan-style, and a lantern of the third floor becomes Euro-style made.
I become the tangible folk cultural assets of the Chiba appointment now.

船橋大神宮灯明台(ふなばしだいじんぐうとうみょうだい)は千葉県船橋市にある灯明台です。
江戸時代、船橋大神宮境内に常夜の鐘があり、夜間に沿岸を航海する際の目安にされていました。
この灯明台は光源の石油ランプに反射鏡を組合わせた構造となっており、光は11km先まで届く程だったといわれていて、構造は1階と2階は和風で、3階の灯室が西洋風の造りとなっています。
現在は千葉県指定の有形民俗文化財になっています。
