New NPC interactions:

Sayuri (shrine office miko) now can be asked out for dating/relationship interactions (both by male and female player's character). Her personality is focused on Shinto concepts of purity and cleanliness. Invitation success will depend on your character's "faith" skill.

"Ganzan Daishi Hyakusen" (omikuji encyclopedia book) can be received as a gift from Sayuri after reaching relationship level 15. It contains authentic quatrain verses used in real life Japanese shrines for omikuji fortunes, and their interpretations.
