I Want a Cute Couple Amulet ♡
A couple amulet is a charm that embodies the wish for a couple to live happily and harmoniously together in the future.*
The cute design featuring hakama and shiro-muku (traditional white wedding kimono) seems like a magical item that can enhance both of their fortunes just by having it! ♡
Recently, it has become a common practice to display it in the welcome space at weddings or use it as a prop for pre-wedding photos.*
But I don't have time to go to a shrine...!
I often hear newlywed brides say,
"I want a couple amulet, but I don't have time to go to a shrine to buy one, and it’s frustrating."
"The shrine that has the couple amulet design I want is too far to go in a day."
It's true that shrines selling couple amulets are limited, and if they are far from home, the round trip can be quite a hassle...!
Of course, it’s generally believed that visiting a shrine, paying respects, and then receiving the amulet is
the most beneficial and the right thing to do, but the reality is that it’s not always feasible.
But don't give up!*
Some shrines actually send couple amulets by "mail"! ♡
So, which shrine is that?
You can request mail delivery from Tsubaki Ōkami Shrine in Mie Prefecture.*
The shrine that offers mail service is Tsubaki Ōkami Shrine, located in Suzuka City, Mie Prefecture.*
It is famous for its benefits of matchmaking and bringing good fortune, ranking third in visitor numbers in Mie Prefecture, following Ise Jingu Shrine and Futami Okitama Shrine.
The couple amulets from Tsubaki Ōkami Shrine feature a black hakama for the groom and a completely white shiro-muku for the bride.
Their pure and uncolored design is luxurious yet incredibly cute! ♡
How can I request mail delivery?
Here’s how to request mail delivery:*
Simply send an email to this address "info@tsubaki.or.jp" with your address, name, phone number, and the name and quantity of the items you wish to receive.
It seems they will send an invoice and payment slip along with the couple amulet, so you can just pay after receiving it.
