You strike a board seven times for a wish: patron of couples and of sacred dance.
The shrine is dedicated to Sarutahiko, the deity who guided the heavenly descent according to the myth, and to Ame-no-Uzume, the dancing goddess who married him: together they are worshipped for harmony between couples, relationships and the performing arts. Behind the main building, on Mount Kamurogi, anyone with a wish strikes a wooden board seven times.
A Takachiho shrine dedicated to Ame-no-Uzume-no-Mikoto, the deity of the performing arts. It stands along the road that leads from Kōdono to Kushifuru, about 1.3 km from the centre.

In episode 24 the group stops here to pray after shooting the music video, before heading back to Tokyo. The series chose it because, in local tradition, it is the shrine that actors and people in show business turn to.
