恋人はどこだ～
金沢最古の神社である石浦神社は、兼六園のすぐ隣、金沢21世紀美術館の裏手にあります。縁結びにご利益があるとして、特に恋愛がしたい方やソウルメイトとの出会いを求めている方から人気が高い神社です。また、厄除けや安産にもご利益があると言われています。
運をいただいていこう
石浦神社には、たくさんのお守りが取り揃えられています。特に人気なのは、金沢の観光名所で度々見かける犬のマスコット「キマちゃん」のお守りやグッズです。参拝者の多くが絵馬に願い事を書き、思いを込めて結んでいきます。結ばれた絵馬は神職の方々が点検しながら、それぞれの願い事がかなうよう祈ってくれています。
Looking for romance?
The oldest shrine in Kanazawa City, Ishiura Shrine is located right next to Kenroku-en Garden, and behind the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa. Ishiura Shrine is the place to go if you are looking for marriage blessings or luck finding a soul mate, making this historic shrine especially popular with those looking for love. The shrine is also said to provide protection from evil spirits and blessings for safe childbirth.
Good luck wherever you go
There are many lucky amulets and talismans for sale here. Especially popular are the amulets and goods with Kima-chan, a dog mascot seen around some of Kanazawa’s popular tourist areas. During the year, visitors purchase and write on an ema (wooden wishing plaque) which is then hung for the gods to receive their hopes, wishes, and ambitions. These wooden plaques will eventually be inspected by a priest at the shrine, who will pray for the request to be granted.
