If you are looking for luck in the area of love, you should visit the Daijingu Shrine in Tokyo. Located near the Kudanshita area, this Shinto shrine has as its main deity Goddess Amaterasu, the Goddess of the sun. Praying here is supposed to help your true connection find their way to you. The shrine also has a deep connection with the Imperial Family.
Finding True Love
This shrine is known for its ability to attract love, in any form. It is very popular among young Japanese since it is believed that by coming to pray at this shrine you can attract or maintain your partner. This sanctuary has the peculiarity of having carved hearts on its doors. This, according to legend, will make your true love enter your life faster if you take a photo and make it your cellphone’s wallpaper.
In this shrine, it is very common to see traditional-style weddings since many couples want the shrine of love to protect their marriage. A nice detail is that the shrine is located on a residential street, so you can notice the contrast between traditional and modern Japan.
History of the Daijingu Shrine
In the Edo period (1604-1868), all Japanese people had the goal of going to the Great Shrine of Ise, where the essence of goddess Amaterasu is enshrined, once in their life to Ise to pray. Because Ise was a long way from Edo (Tokyo), the Tokyo Daijingu Shrine functions as a branch of the Ise Shrine.
Omikuji (fortune predictions) directed exclusively for luck in love can be bought in the shrine enclosures. If you take one, you can see how your love destiny will unfold. And if you want to keep the essence of the sanctuary with you or want to protect your relationship, you can buy and take with you an omamori (protective amulet).
Although the sanctuary is not very large, it is aesthetically pleasing, and when you enter you feel an atmosphere of harmony. Here you can pray not only for the love of a romantic relationship but also for the love towards your family or friends. If you want to connect a little with the energy of the magnificent goddess Amaterasu and want to attract love to your life, then you should pay a visit to the Tokyo Daijingu Shrine.
The shrine is open every day from 6 am to 8 pm.
