After praying, you can get a Daruma-mikuji for 500 yen. The Daruma doll, which rises up even if it falls down, is a good-luck charm, so place it on your desk or in other places close to you.

The four deities are the gods of good luck, good fortune, learning, good marriage, and conjugal harmony. In addition, many other deities are enshrined, including the Daimoto Shrine, which enshrines all the deities of Japan, the god of confectionery, the god of cooking, and many others. Surrounded by trees and filled with a sacred atmosphere, visitors are encouraged to take time to pray.
