Mie | A journey through matchmaking② Ishigami-san

I took a bus to Ishigami-san (officially Shinmei Shrine). It's in a slightly difficult location to get to, but I really wanted to go there. This shrine is also famous for Olympian Noguchi Mizuki winning a gold medal while running while holding a lucky charm from here. It's famous for granting wishes, mainly from women. Apparently it was originally a shrine for fishermen. Write one wish on the prayer paper. It's said that it's best to write specifically what you want and the period you want it to come true. The trick is to write it as if you're declaring it, like "I will do this!". The charms are only sold in person, so please purchase them when you visit... ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Shinmei Shrine (Ishigami-san) 📍1385 Osatsu-cho, Toba City, Mie Prefecture ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ #Domestic travel trip #Mie tourism #Ishigami-san #Toba tourism #Matchmaking shrine
