Experience making your own amulet♡

Oohirasan Konpira-in in Tottori Prefecture

At Oohirasan Konpira-in, you can experience something unique.

That is, the experience of making a handmade amulet called 【Oinori Mamori】.

Amulets have a divine and noble image, but to be able to make one yourself is something new and memorable, isn't it?*

<What is Oinori Mamori?>

Oinori Mamori is,

☑ A stone amulet hand-carved by stone craftsmen from Kurashiki

☑ You can choose your favorite design of the bag and the color of the string

and create your own*

The bags come in various patterns, from traditional Japanese designs and floral patterns to Nordic-style patterns and polka dots that are unusual for amulets♡

The offering fees vary depending on the fabric; the chirimen (crepe) amulet bags are 2,000 yen, and the kimono fabric amulet bags are 2,500 yen.

After selecting the amulet bag, you can put the stone amulet and a "wish paper" where you write your own wish inside it, and have it blessed (O-kaji) by the Buddha.

Since it is properly blessed, it seems like there will be benefits♡

The Oinori Mamori takes about 1 hour to make. The reception hours are from 9 am to 3 pm, and there may be days when it is not available, so be sure to check the website in advance*
