Takasago City, Hyogo Prefecture is famous for its Takasago dolls. Takasago dolls are also called ``Jotoba'' and are considered lucky charms of longevity and marital harmony.
The rake held by the old man has the meaning of ``gathering good fortune'', and the broom held by the old woman has the meaning of ``warding off evil spirits''. It has the meaning of ``both husband and wife help each other, the husband collects fortune (wealth), and the wife protects and prepares the home.''
Takasago Shrine is characterized by the presence of a pine tree called Aioi no Matsu, which is said to pray for a good match.

1. Let's pray for a good match at Aioi no Matsu!
It is said that during the Edo period, the ``Aioi no Matsu'' of Takasago Shrine was widely given to commoners as a talisman of the shrine. "Aioi no Matsu" at Takasago Shrine is a pine tree with the same root, black pine and red pine growing together at the base. The sight of them being nurtured over many years while supporting each other seems to symbolize what a married couple should be like. Its mysterious appearance seems to emanate a mysterious power. I would like to pray not only for a good relationship, but also for married couples and couples to spend their time in harmony.

2. Get a matchmaking charm!
Takasago Shrine's symbol is the Aioi pine, so everyone prays for good luck. Matchmaking is not necessarily a prayer for the fulfillment of unrequited love. We also pray for long-lasting love, reconciliation, and successful marriage. It is generally recommended that you return the amulet once your wish has come true. Let's worship the Aioi pine and get a matchmaking charm at Takasago Shrine!
3. Charge your energy with the 1000-year-old sacred tree “IBUKI”!
At Takasago Shrine, there is a sacred tree called ``Ibuki'' that is over 1,000 years old and is on the right hand side of the entrance. It is designated as a natural monument by Takasago City, and strangely all of its branches and leaves are facing towards the main shrine. You will be mesmerized by its impressive appearance. It is a power spot!
4. Let's take great photos at the heart-shaped photo spot!
When you visit the main shrine, there is a black wall with a heart cut out on the side. This is one of the traditional Japanese patterns called Inomemado, which has the meaning of warding off misfortune and inviting good fortune. If you take a photo here, it will definitely look great!
