Yasui Kimbira Palace



The Enkiri-Enmusubi monument at Yasui Konpira Shrine, famous for cutting off bad marriages, is said to cut off bad relationships and bring good marriages together.
The many ema (votive tablet) and katayo (paper dolls) wishing for good luck may seem scary, but it is said that if you walk through the shrine from the front, bad luck will be cut off, and if you walk through from the back, good luck will be brought to you. If you put a katashiro on the shrine and make a wish at the end, it is said that good karma will come to you, so you will feel refreshed both physically and emotionally.

Good fortune is also good luck!



After passing through the monument of Enkiri-en-musubi, you are encouraged to draw Omikuji (fortune). There are two types: a green omikuji (300 yen) and a black omikuji (100 yen). The green omikuji contains a numerical value of the degree of bad karma, and if the number is too high, you can go back through the Enkiri-Enmusubi monument again.

It is the Imamiya Shrine, which is rumored to be a place for good marriages and, what a surprise, a place to ride on a ball.

All of the amulets are reputed to be cute!

summary

The word "karma" is divided into love, health, and academics, and even within love, there are different requests that one may have in mind.
It is not something that can be fulfilled by hard work, but sometimes it is good to rely on wishful thinking.
