Jishu Shrine, Shinto shrine in Higashiyama-ku, Japan
Located next to Kiyomizu-dera temple, Jishu Shrine features a pair of stones placed 18 meters apart on its grounds for visitors to test their fortune.
The shrine dates back to the Heian period and stands as one of Japan's enduring places of worship dedicated to Okuninushi, the deity of love and relationships.
Wooden plaques called ema hang throughout the shrine grounds, displaying written wishes and prayers from visitors seeking guidance in matters of the heart.
The shrine maintains daily opening hours and provides traditional talismans for purchase, with special ceremonies held during festivals and celebrations throughout the year.
Two large stones set 18 meters apart allow visitors to attempt walking between them with closed eyes, testing their potential for finding true love.
