Matchmaking Tree

Recommended for those who wish for a good marriage is the Kusunoki tree, estimated to be 450 years old, which stands between the main hall and the Yaba site. It is said that if you place your hand on this tree and pray for good karma, you will receive only good karma.

A good match refers not only to love, but also to various relationships such as work and friendship. In addition, many red threads of fate are tied by worshipers and red threads with five-yen coins were tied to the sacred tree.

The author has also asked for a firm request.

The red thread of fate can be given for 100 yen at the shrine office, so please try to tie it with your wishes.

Not only the red thread of fate, but also the stone that brings good luck.

This is a “happiness knot” where you write your wish and tie it to a string. It seems that happiness will come just by being in the precincts.

Write a Rabbit Face on an Ema (votive picture of horse) and Make a Wish

As expected of a rabbit shrine, the ema is also a rabbit ema (500 yen). You can write your face on the rabbit ema as you like, so there were lots of expressive emas, which made my heart feel warm.

Let's draw a rabbit's face as you like and pray to God.

Goshuin (red ink stamp) with a Nice Design

Red ink stamp book (1,500 yen)

The goshuin (red ink stamp) designed by a female chief priest has become a hot topic mainly on SNS. The colorful designs are cute and quickly become popular, and even on weekdays, many people visit the shrine in search of goshuin.

Red ink stamp can be obtained at the shrine office on the left as soon as you enter the precincts.

There are limited red ink stamps depending on the season and month, and there are always 5 to 6 types available. Prices range from 300 yen to 1,000 yen, depending on the design. Basically, you can choose your goshuin from the ones posted at the shrine office, but there are also birthday limited designs that can only be given to people who have a birthday.

Besides, people who use the Miwa Shrine's red ink stamp book can get a free goshuin designed for their birth month.

It takes about an hour to get the red ink stamp, so if you don't have time, you can get the one already written down.

On this day as well, I waited for an hour to receive the red ink stamp.

However, you can get a numbered ticket while waiting, so you can spend your time walking around Osu eating and shopping. Don't worry, even if you miss the time to finish writing, you can pick it up by 17:00.

Cute to Decorate! Omikuji (written oracle) with a Rabbit Motif

At the end, I decided to draw an omikuji with a cute rabbit motif. The rabbit's expression is very cute!

The result was "Chu-kichi (fair luck)"! When I think about it, it's the first omikuji I drew this year. I tied the omikuji to the precincts and took the rabbit home.

Miwa Shrine was a shrine full of rabbits more than I thought. It must be an irresistible spot for rabbit lovers. If you like rabbits, or if you want to be blessed with a good match, please stop by Osu!
