Jishu Shrine

Behind Kiyomizu-dera's main hall stands Jishu Shrine, a shrine dedicated to Ōkuninushi, the deity of love and matchmaking. Beyond the shrine there is a notice board of names. These names belong to grateful couples who returned to the shrine to show their gratitude after they have gotten married.
