[Kanagawa Prefecture/Kamakura, "Kuzuharaoka Shrine" known as a shrine for finding good matches]

"Kuzuharaoka Shrine" is known as a shrine for good relationships. To the left of the torii gate is the shrine office, where you can buy ♡ "Enmusubi Ema" (votive plaques in the shape of a heart that will help you find a good match), ♡ Sakura shell amulets, ♡ Matchmaking bells and amulets, and ♡ Love fortunes. Just to the right of the torii gate is the "Masaruishi" (stone that drives away evil). It is said to be a stone that wins happiness, with the meaning of "Masaruishi" (the word that drives away evil) being a turn of "Masaruishi" (the word that wins happiness). You can also use the Masaruishi to cut off your bad luck before worshiping. To cut off your bad luck, throw a plate (100 yen for the first offering) in front of the Masaruishi at the stone while making a wish to cut off your bad luck, and you can throw it repeatedly until it breaks. Next, go through the torii gate and you will find the "Matchmaking Stone" on the left. After receiving a matchmaking charm at the shrine office and a five yen coin with a red thread tied to it, women should tie a five yen coin with red thread to the "male stone" on their right hand, and men should tie a five yen coin to the "female stone" on their left hand. It is said that doing so will bring you good luck in love! Further ahead is a stone monument of the "God of Fortune Dragon" in the main hall. There are many "origami cranes" that have been donated as "thank you visits" when wishes are granted, so it seems like it will bring good luck✨ If your wish is granted, you can receive origami paper by telling the shrine office, "I'd like to fold a crane as a thank you visit."
