Why not try your hand at some fortune-telling in Okusha Hohaisho?
You will see a pair of stone lanterns on the right side at the back; these have stones placed upon them, known as the Omokaru Stones, meaning “heavy or light stones.”
If you find a stone lighter than you had expected upon lifting it, this is a sign of good luck and it is believed that your wishes will come true.
If, on the other hand, the stone feels unexpectedly heavy, console yourself with the thought that at least you tried your best!
Here is a special tip. As you stand in front of a stone, try to imagine the heaviest stone you possibly can in your mind before attempting to guess the weight.
And if you visit this place with friends, let them try first: many people will underestimate the weight of this stone, so while waiting your turn, you can watch your friends trying and failing to guess the weight.
If you still think it feels heavier, why not visit and try again sometime next year?
You may find that it feels lighter the second time, meaning that you’ll have more luck!
