Suitengu Shrine, is dedicated to safe delivery and childbirth. Yes, a shrine solely for this purpose, which is not surprising in Japan.
As our quiet weekends are coming to an end, Mike and I decided to go and check it out. It never hurts to have multiple religion praying for you, so why not. It is basically like visiting any other shrine: you ring the bell, throw some coins in, pray, and then clap twice.
This weekend also happens to be a celebration of 7-5-3, where you bring your 7/3 yr. old daughters and 5yr sons to the shrine to be blessed. Its a big deal, as you can see below, everyone gets dressed up. I though she was super cute
