Yasui Kinpira-gu Shrine Monument for Enkiri-knots

Going back and forth through the hole in the huge stone "Enkiri-Enmusubi Monument" in front of the awarding ceremony place, first to break off bad relationships, and then to make good ones.

Pray for a good match by walking back and forth through the huge stone hole at Yasui Konpira Shrine in Gion

Yasui Konpira-gu Shrine is famous throughout Japan as a shrine for severing bad marriages and bringing good luck. The shrine became a place to pray for the severance of all causalities and bad marriages after the defeat of Emperor Sutoku in the Hogen Disturbance (1156), when he was exiled to Kintohira Shrine in Sanuki, where he renounced all greed and went to pray. The monument has a hole in the center, and it is said that if you hold a substitute for yourself and make a wish, pass through the monument from front to back and back to front again, and finally put the substitute on the monument, your wish will be fulfilled. It is said to keep away not only the relationship between a man and a woman, but also bad habits and misfortunes.
