Make your wish
Shinto is the way of Japanese religion. It said to be the way of god and it is an invidual matter.
Shinto not necessarily to be practice only by the Japanese but whoever believe in it; spirituality.
Right on Heian Shrine main building there is a tree for omikuji means sacred lottery. Normally shinto practice on this is you shake a box (contained pieces of paper of %omikuji%; until the omikoji come out in a shape of roll paper. Unrolled it to reveal the written sacred lottery. Once revealed you will tie it up on the omikoji tree hoping that the fortune will come true.
Generally its all about wishing good in health, studies or even relationship.
