Nagoya City】Summary of Shrines that bring good luck for marriage

There are various things that people want to do to improve their luck, such as love, good relationships, health, money, work, and studies. Aichi Prefecture is a prefecture with a large number of shrines and temples, with 8,014 shrines and temples, far more than Kyoto.

So, this time, we have compiled a list of shrines that are said to be beneficial for marriage!

Shiroyama Hachimangu Shrine｜Honzan

Shiroyama Hachimangu Shrine is located a 6-minute walk from Exit 1 of Motoyama Station on the Higashiyama Subway Line. Despite its location in the middle of Nagoya, this quiet shrine surrounded by woods is believed to bring good luck, ward off bad luck, and bring good luck for marriage.

One of the most popular power spots is an ancient tree called Renri-boku, located behind the temple grounds. It is believed to be a sacred tree for marriage, good marriage, and marital bliss, and it is said that a man and a woman who meet under this tree will get married.

It is also believed that by visiting three shrines related to love, Shiroyama Hachimangu Shrine, Takamu Shrine, and Yamada Tenmangu Shrine, called "Koi no Sansha Meguri" (Tour of Three Shrines for Love), one can enjoy the blessings of marriage. These are essential spots for matchmaking in Nagoya, so be sure to visit them as well.

Miwa Shrine｜Osu

Osu Shopping Street is one of Nagoya's tourist attractions. Located in one corner is Miwa Shrine, a shrine where the god of marriage is said to reside. The shrine was founded in 1570 by welcoming the god from "Ookami Shrine" in Nara Prefecture, which is also known as the strongest power spot in Japan.

Although it is a small shrine, many people visit every day, including women who come for the cute red ink stamps and those who come to pray for marriage.

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.

There are limited goshuin 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, so be sure to check them out!
