Due to the luxurious decoration of the shrine building, it is called "Nikko Toshogu Shrine of Ibaraki". Known as the "Yumemusubi Daimyojin", there is no end to the number of people who receive prayers for such things as the safety of their families, warding off evil spirits, warding off all directions, warding off stars, and dream-tying (love and fulfillment of wishes). It is said that if you receive the "Dream Fulfillment Prayer" called "Shigoku Mairi" three times a year, in New Year's Day, May, and September, your dreams will become bigger. We recommend a "three-year prayer," in which this prayer is continued for three years.
