"Gofuku No Enmusubi"
refers to "creating bonds with five
kind of happiness" in Japanese. We hope to
create bonds of happiness for local people and
tourists via five concepts: clothes, food, housing,
culture and health on the Gofukumachi Shopping Street. The Gofuku No Enmusubi Shrine with
the "Enmusubi Doji" is a symbolic spot of these
bonds of happiness. Visitors can drop
by and pray for their happiness.
Who knows if your prayers
will come true.
