What is this?" "I've never seen this before." A "mysterious item" that can only be purchased by asking the receptionist at the Hokkaido Jingu Shrine! What is it?
The owner of this post went to the Hokkaido Shrine to buy a "mysterious item" that he had found. What is this?
This item at the Hokkaido Jingu Shrine was a real special class of spells that looked about 10 centimeters long, and it was not listed on the list of gifts outside, nor was it lined up outside. Only those in the know could buy it...

Quote from @sakuretukiwi's post
The item can only be bought by telling the receptionist. How did you find it?

Hokkaido Shrine
The person who submitted this article is Bursting Kiwi, a private goods producer. When visiting Hokkaido for an event, he was recommended Hokkaido Shrine as a sightseeing destination, and found this while browsing the website. He says, "Things have been bad around me recently," and "I don't usually go there after looking at the site, so if you say I was invited by this, then maybe you're right," he says.
The comments were "What is this?", "I have never seen this before", "I have been there many times but never knew about this item", and even people who usually visit the Hokkaido Jingu Shrine did not know about this item. What exactly was it?
It is a "charm bell" in the shape of a peach seed.

This item is a "charm bell" in the shape of a peach seed. It is a clay bell in the shape of a peach seed, and it is said to make a proper sound. Peaches have been believed to have the power to ward off evil since ancient times, and it is said in the Kojiki (Record of Ancient Matters) that Izanagi no Mikoto threw peach seeds to repel his pursuers when he was fleeing back from the Land of Hades.
In fact, two days after this posting, this bell to repel evil spirits was sold out. The bell is handmade by craftsmen, and it may be difficult to resell it before the end of the year.
