Kurikara is Acalanatha, why would he take on the role of a love-tying god?
Actually, since I was three, my bond with Hanabi was already established, so there's nothing much to pray for.
Yakuoin has both the Main Hall and the Main Shrine; the Main Hall is a Buddhist temple, while the Main Shrine is a Shinto shrine.
After climbing the long staircase, you reach the Main Hall of Yakuoin.
There aren't too many people here, but you can see monks in black clothes sweeping the steps at the entrance, and some people bowing and praying.
The method of worship at temples and shrines is slightly different.
At shrines, after offering incense money, you have to shake the bell, bow twice, clap your hands twice, pray, and finally bow again.
In temples, you skip the initial bowing and clapping; you just need to press your hands together and pray.
