We went to the first pond where it is said, if you dip your hands in the water for 30 seconds, all your sins will be erased. I put my hands for 1 minute, since i had alot of sins. We then went to (maybe) the most famous pond, a matchmaker's pond. It is said that you will find your true love of you stay at the pond. That must be a lie, since i didnt see any japanese girl running towards me. Maybe it only works if you are japanese? There was a stall nearby selling grapes.
