Cupid of Love

Hello my friends!

I went to Kyoto for taking IELTS last month.
The result  of the test aside, I'll tell you about kyoto todaylol

I'd stayed there for 4 days form Jan 13 to 16.

Actually, Kyoto is the most favorite city in Japan.
Just this time Takashimaya was held a hinamatsuri festival.
 

The place I particularly wanted to visit was Jisyu Shrine at Kiyomizu Temple.
These below are Kiyomizu Temple...

Jishu Shrine is situated near the center of Kiyomizu Temple.

Japanese people have looked up and relied on Jishu Shrine as the dwelling place of god of love and matchmaking.

In front of the main building, there are two stones set about ten meters apart.

If a person walks safely from one stone to the other with closed eyes, his or her love will be realized.


This fortune-telling practice is very popular!





←It was little bit difficult to put both stones in this picture because of too many people!!!:x

This is Okuninushi no mikoto who is the god of Jishu Shrine.

His story appears in the most ancient history of Japan, Kojiki.




When a rabbit gained what it wanted by deceiving others, it was forced to peel off its skin.
Okuninushi, a sweet-temperd god, healed it and made it mend its ways.

The fortune I drew...

This is center of the Kiyomizu Temple.

I love the view from here:)

You do just like this, but...

finally succeeded!

She's an ama-san.

Bye bye!!!
