Pray for a baby at the adorable rabbit [Higashitenno Okazaki Shrine]

This shrine was built to the east of the capital to protect Heian-kyo. The shrine is also famous as a "Rabbit Shrine" because of the habitat of wild rabbits that have inhabited the area for a long time. Since rabbits are fertile, the shrine is widely worshipped by those who wish to have a child or have a safe delivery.

Black granite child bearing rabbit

A child-bearing rabbit, which is said to bring blessings for a child when patted on the stomach, and a black granite child-bearing rabbit sit in the hand-watering basin. The figure looks up to the heavens and is filled with power in its body. Sprinkle water on it and rub its belly to pray for a child.

The A-Un guardian rabbits that sit in front of the main shrine are said to bring good luck in marriage. In addition, a pair of beckoning rabbits are enshrined in the main shrine, one on the right hand for marriage and the other on the left hand for money. Their loveliness will soothe your heart.
