Love fortune at Yaegaki Shrine
“A marriage proposal will become a good match. East and south are the lucky directions.” You float the paper with a 10-yen coin on it on the water and watch how long it takes to sink. The faster it sinks, the closer your destined match is supposed to be. Looks like mine is still a long way off.
Love fortune 2
“Your wish will come true. North and east are the lucky directions.”
People trying the love fortune…
