Omokaru Stone

After passing through the Senbon Torii gate, you will find “Omokaru Stone”.

Two lanterns are lined up, and “Omokaru Stones” are placed on top of the lanterns.

After thinking about your wishes in front of the lantern, lift the stone.

When you lift a stone, if you feel that the stone is lighter than you imagined, your wish will come true, and if you feel that the stone is heavier than you imagined, your wish will not come true.
