Yasui Konpiragu
People flock to Yasui Konpiragu, everyday. The secret is its power to make and break ties. Worshipers pray for romantic luck at many shrines, but few pray to break off ties. Here, they pray to break not only romantic ties but also ties to alcohol and even smoking. Worshippers line up to crawl through the miraculous megalith within the shrine.
