A small temple, famous for praying for good relationship / marriage There's an interesting fortune-telling activity. Purchase a white paper at the shrine (cannot choose which paper you'd like), then bring it to the Mirror Pound and put coins (ex: 10yen) on top of your paper, then put the paper on the surface of water. Then, wait until the words appear and the paper sinks. The amount of time the coin stays afloat on the paper is supposed to indicate the fate of one's marriage.

Famous power spot to pray for love :) Was touched by the holy atmosphere the Shrine owns. They have beautiful Omamoris too.

Interesting shrine linked to the Yamato no Orochi myth. As seen from the picture the shrine is dedicated to marriage and matchmaking. Check out the Mirror pond.

The section with the pond is nice, don’t miss it! The main area remains quite ordinary.
