“MONKEY BALLS, MONKEY BALLS, MONKEY BALLS”

Nov 2019

Now don't take this term with the wrong thought. These are cloth figures you can purchase for 500 yen, write your name and wish and then hang with the virtual 1000s of others, this seems to be confined to women; old, young, rich and poor. Women with fine designer clothes to teens dressed in the tourist kimonos. Very crowded most of the time but worth seeing.

Colourful

Nov 2018 • Couples

This is a very colourful temple, which is different from other temples we have seen. So worth a visit if in the area.

Small and monkey-themed

Jan 2017 • Couples

A small temple that features the see/hear/speak no-evil monkeys adorned with these pod-like figures that resemble monkeys. Worth a quick peek inside.
