Asakusa Sui is famous for matchmaking

#aprilblooms A venerable old shrine that is said to be beneficial for matchmaking because the enshrined deities are "Izanagi no Mikoto" and "Izanami no Mikoto", which are said to be the first couple in Japan. By regularly holding "matchmaking parties" since 2008 as a meeting place for men and women, it has become increasingly widely known as a shrine that has benefitted from praying for good marriages. People who wish for a good relationship are bustling not only on holidays but also on weekdays. There are many inviting cat figurines in the precincts, welcoming worshippers warmly. Among them, the couple's inviting cat next to the main hall is popular because it is said that it will bring good luck when you stroke it, and if you take a picture and set it to the waiting screen of your mobile phone, it will fulfil your wish.
