Although no less than 400 years were a front thing, the time in which the samurai was had a tree of big cherry in this shrine.

But the name of a shrine called Sakura Tenjin remained as it is.

桜通と本町通が交わる交差点の近くに桜天神という神社があります。400年も前のことですが、侍がいた時代に、この神社には大きな桜の木がありました。だから、みんなが桜天神と呼ぶようになりました。とても大きな桜の木だったのですが、名古屋で大きな火事があったとき(1660年)、その立派な桜の木も燃えてしまいました。でも、桜天神という神社の名前はそのまま残りました。その桜天神があるので、現在は桜通となっています。
キャッシュは神社付近に隠されています。
