Some brides say, "The Aoshima Shrine's amulet is definitely the best!" due to its popularity.* Let me introduce you to the trending Couple Amulet from Aoshima Shrine♩
First, what kind of place is Aoshima Shrine?
Aoshima Shrine, located in Miyazaki City, Miyazaki Prefecture, is one of the famous tourist spots in Kyushu.* It is said to have a history of over 1200 years, and it is believed to bring blessings for marriage and safe childbirth♡

Here are three reasons why the "Couple Amulet" at Aoshima Shrine is so popular!
Reason 1: The cute pink traditional clothing ♡
Normally, couple amulets have a design with a white wedding kimono, so the female's amulet is typically white.*

Therefore, it is especially recommended for brides wearing pink-colored kimonos.*
Reason 2: It looks so vibrant when displayed ♡

Reason 3: Even the box is lovely*
The surface of the box containing the couple amulet features a gold-colored design resembling Mizuhiki (Japanese traditional decorative cord).♡ It's wonderful to have such a lovely box as well♩
Of course, it is also recommended as a gift souvenir for wedding celebrations.*
The price of the couple amulet is 1,000 yen*
