Introduction

In the classical literary masterpiece "The Tale of Genji," we can learn about the presence of black wooden torii gates, which are symbols of shrines. In the mossy garden of the shrine, we can enjoy beautiful scenery. Here, you can buy ema (votive horse plaques) and o-mamori (amulets), which exude the aura of "The Tale of Genji" and make for great collectible souvenirs.
