Unveiling the Unique Omikuji and Charm of 'Kima-chan' at Ishikura Shrine

Step into Ishikura Shrine, the oldest shrine in Kanazawa, and be captivated not only by its 101 red torii gates but also by its fascinating omikuji! What makes it special is the 'Kima-chan' omikuji, featuring KIMA the rabbit wearing a traditional eboshi hat. As the shrine's mascot, Kima-chan symbolizes good fortune and serves as a guardian of 'complete harmony.' You can also find this adorable character on polka-dot style amulets and ema plaques, making it a popular photo spot for modern travelers seeking connection.

After drawing your omikuji, you can walk through the vine-like omikuji hanging scroll tunnel, where the visuals and the fragrant wooden torii gates create a romantic and emotional atmosphere. You can choose to take your omikuji home or tie it to the designated wall rack, allowing your wishes to mature over time.
