Ichihatasan Yakushiji Temple will hold a social exchange event themed on 'special connections' in the special setting of a temple, called the 'Goen-musubi no Kai' (Matchmaking Gathering), on Sunday, May 24, 2026.
On the day, in addition to performing a 'Good Match Prayer' for each participant's good fortune, the event will provide a place for natural conversations to arise through an amulet-making experience and social time.
The event will be held in two parts: the 'Ryoen-kai' (Good Match Gathering) to create opportunities for future-oriented encounters, and the 'Yuen-kai' (Friendship Gathering) for a wide range of interactions from finding a partner to making friends. We aim to create an event that fosters 'special connections' in the calm atmosphere of a temple.
'Good Match Prayer' for Wishing for a Connection
At the event, a 'Good Match Prayer' will be performed for each participant's good fortune. One of the features of the 'Goen-musubi no Kai' is that it is not just a social event, but also values the time for 'prayer' that can only be born at a temple. By joining hands in a quiet space, the mind naturally calms down, creating a serene atmosphere.
Natural Interaction Through Amulet Making
The 'Goen-musubi no Kai' is characterized by the fact that participants do not just face each other and talk, but can interact naturally while making amulets. Even for first-time acquaintances, sharing the same experience while working with their hands makes it easier to start a conversation. The event will also include self-introductions, free talk, time to write down who you are interested in, and contact information exchange.
'Ryoen-kai' Leading to Romance and 'Yuen-kai' Leading to Friendship
It is structured in two parts to make it easy to participate according to your purpose. The 'Ryoen-kai' is for single people aged 20-39, with the theme of finding a life partner for the future. The 'Yuen-kai' is for single people aged 20 and over, with the theme of finding supportive companions or like-minded people of the opposite sex. At the Yuen-kai, participation is welcome not only for romance but also for making friends.
A New Option of 'Meeting at a Temple'
As the ways people meet diversify, Ichihatasan Yakushiji Temple values the natural interaction that arises from the sense of security of a temple. People connect through prayer and experiences in a quiet and calm space. We will create opportunities for the younger generation to visit casually as a place for such unique temple connections.
