This shrine is the power spot of Atami!
This time, I will introduce Atami's power spot "Kurimiya Shrine" ⛩️
When you look up sightseeing in Atami, this power spot is almost always listed as a recommended spot.
I was able to visit it just last week, so I will explain how to enjoy it and what to see 😌
---1️⃣Cute and wide variety of fortune-telling slips
The "musubi string fortune-telling slip" fortune-telling slip can be worn by wrapping it around your arm like a misanga ♪ It's a fun thing to see which one will win. The fun doubles when you combine it with the fortune-telling result! It's also recommended as it will become a memory of your trip
There were also a wide variety of other types, such as the "Okusu Omisakuji" unique to Kinomiya Shrine, the Seven Lucky Gods fortune-telling slip, and the Love fortune-telling slip
---2️⃣Amulets and gifts
Matchmaking amulets and Nine Star amulets, etc. Compared to the amulets of other shrines, they are a little more compact in size and have a subtle presence even when attached to your belongings, so they seem easy to use in everyday life!
All the amulets are published on the shrine's website, so you can check in advance which amulet you want.
---3️⃣4 cafes and rest areas within the grounds
The features of each cafe and rest area are as follows💁♀️⬇️
