It is said that if you enter even one, you will have a good match. “One Word Frog” involves holding a frog in both hands and making one wish. Next to it is “Nikko Zeniaraisho”. The only money washing place in Nikko. And this is the Goshuin seal that I received on the day. The inscription is “Futarasan Shrine”. I was able to receive it at the awarding place in front of the shrine. A cheesecake and sweets shop in front of Tobu Nikko Station, with a cafe on the second floor. I ordered the rare cheesecake “Nirvana” and hot coffee. I was able to relax a little until it was time for the next train. Karasawayama Shrine [Sano City, Tochigi Prefecture] A shrine located at the top of Mt. Karasawa in Sano City, which has no public transportation. It is a fun shrine where you can meet many cats as you walk along the long approach to the shrine . “Karasawayama Shrine” is located on the ruins of Karasawayama Castle, and the shrine building is located on the ruins of the main enclosure. Suikinkutsu is near Shinkyo Bridge. You can enjoy the sound by running water. The book I received on that day was “The Tale of Miidera: Lord Hidesato of Karahashi in Seta”. I received it at the awarding place on the right hand side on the way to the shrine. Before visiting the shrine, try Fumikirisushi, located in front of the railroad crossing near Sano Station. There are many types of assorted sushi. Take one out from there. I actually thought I would be able to eat inside the restaurant, but the atmosphere wasn’t like that, so I had it at the park in front of the station. It’s fun to eat outside sometimes! Mizusawa Kanzeon [Shibukawa City, Gunma Prefecture] The Niomon Gate, built during the Genroku period (1688-1704), features the gods of wind and thunder. Mizusawa-dera Temple was founded approximately 1,300 years ago. The era of Emperor Suiko and Emperor Jito. The main hall (Kannon-do) was also built during the Genroku era (1688-1704). There are many carvings to be seen, all of which are carved out. Rokkakudo (hexagonal double pagoda) was also built during the Genroku era (1688-1704). The rotating Jizo statue is rotated three times to offer sincerity. “Belfry”. You can also ring the bell by paying a donation of 100 yen per stroke. Because it’s a great opportunity. It’s a good sound. And this is the cut-out Goshuin of the main hall that I received on the day. I was able to receive it at the conferring office in front of the main hall. Koyasan Tokyo Branch Temple [Minato-ku, Tokyo] A temple that becomes the Tokyo branch temple of Koyasan Kongobuji Temple in Wakayama. The principal image is “Kobo Daishi”. Also known as “Kukai”, he is the founder of the Shingon sect. The precincts are quite simple. It has a new feel to it. However, it was built in 1673 and boasts a history of 350 years. This is the main hall. It is thought that the building was built in the Showa era. In front of the “Main Hall” is “Fudodo”. This is a hall that enshrines Fudo Myoo. “Sand Stepping on 88 Places in Shikoku”. Sand from each sacred place is embedded. It is said that walking here will give you the same merits as traveling around Shikoku. Now, you can receive the goshuin at the temple office on the left side of the main hall. The ink is the principal image of Kobo Daishi. Ejima Shrine [Fujisawa City, Kanagawa Prefecture] The deities enshrined at Ejima Shrine are three goddess sisters. Before the Meiji era, during the syncretization of Shinto and Buddhism, it was worshiped as Benzaiten. The first place that appears is Hetsu-miya. It enshrines Tasuntsuhime no Mikoto. This is the main company. There is also a goshuin place here. If you go further up the mountain, you will find Nakatsu-miya. A message worthy of a goddess. Further in the back is Okutsunomiya. Three goddess sisters are enshrined in three shrines. And beyond Okutsu Shrine, there is a guide to “Ryukoi no Kane”. I’ll go. There is a bell in a place overlooking Sagami Bay. Please play it and live up to the legend! Now, this is the limited-edition paper-cut goshuin stamp that I received. There is no official information about the Goshuin stamp, so I am looking forward to going there. Kamakura Shrine [Kamakura City, Kanagawa Prefecture] The deity enshrined is Imperial Prince Moriyoshi, who overthrew the Kamakura shogunate during the Genko War. When you stop by the Chozuya, you will receive a “lion head” amulet! By the way, it was founded in 1869, making it relatively new. The worship hall has no walls and looks like a kagura hall. The main shrine is in the back. Then, I got curious and tried the “Yakuwari Stone”. Throw it at the evil stone. It looks like it was broken on the back wall… And here is the “Mutsuki Pilgrimage” stamp that I received at the shrine office. Goshuincho is not given at the shrine office, but at the awarding office next to the approach. If you would like to have a goshuin stamp written, please receive it first! By the way, “Mutsuki” is the name of Watsuki and means January. Returning to Kamakura Station, this sweets shop is located a short distance down an alley from Komachi Street. In addition to Inaka Shiruko, the menu includes anmitsu and tokoro tempura. It was cold that day, so I ordered “Inaka Shiruko (koshian)”. I’m a strained bean fan. It was warm and soothed my mind and body. Mt. Takao Yakuoin Yukiji Temple [Hachioji City, Tokyo] Mt. Takao is a popular hiking spot that can be reached in one hour from central Tokyo.

As you pass through the vermillion Niomon gate, you will see the main hall. There were many tengu in the main hall. And this is the golden “Eight Dragon Kings”. Coins and banknotes are washed with this purified water and taken home as capital. Well, here is the goshuin that I received on the day. It seems that Mt. Takao was recently designated as a Japanese heritage site. There was a line, but I decided to wait in line. A shop selling the famous “Tenguyaki” near Takaosan Station. The filling is made with black beans from Hokkaido, and the grains are large and filling. It was a modestly sweet souvenir that the whole family would love. Kann Inari Shrine [Ota City, Gunma Prefecture] “Kan Inari Shrine” is popular for praying for marriage and children. Within the precincts is “Shotengu,” which enshrines the deity of husband and wife. After visiting the shrine, follow the signboard and go to the back of the shrine building, where you will find the “Bad Encounter Bell”! There was a method for shaking a large bell, so I decided to try it out. Wrap the prepared paper around a bamboo stick and ring the bell as you pray by swinging the stick back and forth. After cutting off bad relationships, head to Misakisha, which is located on the same grounds. It will be perfect if you pray to the “matchmaking fox” for a good match. And this is the Goshuin seal that I received. Since it’s an Inari Shrine, you’ll be healed by the cute fox characters every time.

For lunch, we went to a ramen shop just a short walk from Suehiro Shrine. It is said to be popular for its chicken paitan ramen and Taiwanese mazesoba. This time I had the chicken paitan ramen. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

Saitama Good Luck Daishi (Ryusenji Temple) [Kumagaya City, Saitama Prefecture] A temple with the highest popularity for goshuin stamps in Saitama Prefecture. The location is quite far from Kumagaya Station, making it inconvenient to take the train, but I visit it regularly in search of wonderful goshuin stamps. A popular temple for warding off evil, good luck, and direction. You can get rid of your earthly desires by ringing the “Bell of Purification” in the temple grounds. I think it depends on the time of year, but various flowers bloom in the precincts. Although it was small, I was able to see the flower chemizu.

Then, there was the matchmaking water fortune-telling “Kinryusen”. I will dip the water fortune slip that I received earlier into the pond. Then letters appeared. “Nakayoshi”! Now, the goshuin is inside the shrine office on the left as soon as you enter the tower gate. The latest goshuin information can be found on the shrine’s official website. After visiting Ikuta Shrine, I went to a nostalgic restaurant that I went to when I was a newlywed about 20 years ago. I was deeply moved to be able to visit with my junior high school son.

This is a rare goshuin stamp with a “shina tree” popping out. In addition, goshuin stamps are introduced on the shrine’s official website. Before visiting the shrine, I visited a popular cafe that is open from 7am.
