💕 Love & relationships

History

It is said that during the Bunkyu era, Heibei (from the Minato-ya household), who had long served the village headman of Toino and was originally from Fuyo Village, enshrined a branch spirit of Uzotora Myojin from the torii gate in Fuyo Village. Additionally, there used to be a pond behind the shrine, where legend held that tying a wish for love to the edge of the water would bring men and women together. Today, the custom remains of tying red cloth to tree branches within the grounds to attract good relationships.
