What other travelers are saying about Jishu Shrine (Love Shrine)
Amazing place to appreciate Japanese heritage. I was surprised to see that every detail is made handmade on the shrines, they really manage to do an excellent job.
Love is all! The Jishu Jinja is a shrine dedicated to the kami (deity) of love and matchmaking. Anyone looking for happiness in love must walk the 18 meters between the two "love stones" with closed eyes (usually to the great hilarity of friends).
Jishu Shrine is a shinto shrine inside Kyomizu temple.
It's the shrine that represents love, you can buy okimujis that tell if you'll have a good luck in finding your soul mate in that year.
You can find a lot of rabbits decorating the place, because a rabbit was the assistant if the god of love.
