Looking for Love? Visit Tono’s Hidden Matchmaking Shrine: Unedori Jinja
Unedori Jinja
If you're searching for true love—or just hoping to boost your romantic luck—Unedori Jinja in the hills of Tono might just be your magical stop ✨
Pass through the vivid red torii gate and step into a tiny, secluded shrine. You'll be greeted by hundreds of fluttering red cloths. It might feel a little eerie at first, but each cloth carries someone's heartfelt wish.
Here’s the ritual: Buy a piece of red cloth at the unmanned stall, write your wish on it, and then—this is key—tie it to the tree using only your left hand. If you succeed, your love might just be returned 💘
There’s something bittersweet about the shrine. So many hopes, desires, and whispered dreams hang in the wind. It feels sacred... and maybe a little haunting.
Unedori Shrine is nestled in the tranquil countryside of Tono, a city known for its folk legends. The shrine is famous thanks to Kunio Yanagita’s "Tono Monogatari", which includes tales about this very spot.
Now a spiritual hotspot for women seeking love, it’s affectionately called Tono’s Matchmaking Shrine. Whether you believe in fate or just want to try your luck, this mystical place is worth the visit. 💫
