Futahashira Shrine
〒981-3117 宮城県仙台市泉区市名坂西裏６１
Located in Izumi-ku, Sendai City, Miyagi Prefecture, this shrine derives its name from enshrining two deities. It is revered for granting children health and safety under the protection of Obotsubi-sama (the deity of child-rearing), as well as for fostering romantic relationships due to the enshrinement of a married couple of deities.

History
The shrine was originally founded in 1026 CE (Manju 2) at the Shurin-dan altar in Ichinami-saka. In 1662 CE (Kanbun 2), it was relocated to its current site. During the Meiji-era separation of Shinto and Buddhism, it was officially named Futahashira Shrine. Although the shrine buildings were destroyed by fire in 1929, the current structures were completed in 1941.

What visitors say
Known as a deity for matchmaking, the shrine features charming attractions such as heart-shaped Hon-tsuri bells (large wind chimes) and embroidered Goshuin (calligraphic seal stamps). There is a wide variety of Goshuin available; since filling out application forms and registering in the guestbook is required, visitors are advised to allow time for waiting. The shrine becomes lively during events such as Setsubun Festival, which includes activities like eating Fuku-mochi (lucky rice cakes) and bean-throwing.
