Pop Japan

Known for temples and shrines dedicated to religious activities, Japan also has what can be considered as a shrine for lovers. Located in the city of Izu in the Shizuoka Prefecture is the romantic Koibito Misaki or the Lovers' Cape. The place includes ceremonial bells for those seeking love and for those wanting to bless their relationship. Along the walkway towards the view of Mt. Fuji, there is the bell that should be rung by couples who pray for long-lasting happiness. Further away is the second bell, which is dedicated to people who are searching for "the one."
