Visit Both a Castle and a Shrine

Sankouinari Shrine has played a role as a guard to the lord of the Inuyama Castle for many years and it is very popular with young girls. When you go to a shrine, you can buy an ema [good luck placard] which you write your wishes on and then hang it on the trees to make it come true. Ema at this particular shrine are heart-shaped and pink. Many young girls visit to pray for romance. The numerous red torii [a gateway at the entrance to a Shinto shrine] is one of the great reasons to visit too.
