Shinto is an indigenous religion that has existed in Japan since before Buddhism. It is the animism that makes the sun and everything else an object of faith. Even today, in the 21st century, the Japanese still believe in it.
There are around 80,000 shrines in Japan. Each shrine has its own deity. There is also a god of love who attracts women from all over Japan.
This is not surprising, as Japanese weddings are often held in shrines.
The most famous love god is located in Izumo-Taisha. This is located in Shimane Prefecture.
The deity is called Okuninushi-no-Mikoto. It is said that he is the god who created Japan. There is also a myth that he was kind and saved a wounded rabbit. In the myth, he is married to a beautiful princess named Hagamihime.
Amulets for finding a partner are very popular with women. Women believe that if they carry this small amulet in their pocket, they will have a great love life.
Of course, there are also popular shrines for women in Tokyo.
Tokyo-Daijingu is the Tokyo branch of Ise Jingu, the most venerable shrine in Japan.
The deity of the Ise shrine is the sun god, but he doesn’t have much to do with love.
This shrine was the site of the first Shinto wedding ceremony in Japan. For this reason, the shrine has become famous as a shrine of love.
Many women visit this shrine to pray for their own love fulfillment and marriage.
It is also famous for its omikuji, which also revolve around love and are very popular with women.
You can find more information about omikuji at the following URL, where they have been introduced before.

Of course, couples and families also travel together, although Japanese people often travel with friends of the same sex. Solo travel is also not uncommon.
It can be a good travel idea to visit a shrine with such a god of love, especially for women traveling together.
