龍恋の鐘（りゅうれんのかね）Ryuren no Kane is located in the beautiful Enoshima island, Kanagawa-prefecture.
Not only is it a popular destination for couples in Japan, but it is also visited by couples from all over the world.
If you want to go there, there is one thing that you must bring: a lock/padlock.
Couples write their names and the date they visited there on the lock.
Then, they lock it to the fence there and throw the key into the sea!
This symbolizes an eternal love between the two, just like the lock that cannot be opened again.
How sweet!
Few meters away from the place, they sell padlocks for 100yen~400yen, so no need to buy one beforehand!
After they throw the key away, the couple would ring this bell together, just like a wedding bell!
Since this place has been a “sacred place for couples” for such a long time, many couples revisit to check if their lock is still on the fence.
Imagine how romantic it would be if you revisit the place with your children!
Couples!
Singles!
Everyone!
Don’t forget to come here if you visit Japan! :)
