Outside of most large temples in Japan, you can find numbers of wooden tags hanging from a rack. Wooden tags are sold for 2-4 EUR at the temple, and visitors can purchase and write their wishes and hang them there.

While tags are often shaped rectangularly, here I came across something different as we climbed up the Takao mountain. Since this is the place you should use your legs and make effort to visit, the temple is believed to be good for praying one’s health and in particular, healthy legs.

In reflection to such a belief, here tags came in Geta, a sandal shape. A minute detail that reminds the visitor what effect this temple potentially has on you.
