あちらの予備の紐に結ぶか、お持ち帰りいただいても大丈夫ですよ。
あちらのよびのひもにむすぶか、おもちかえりいただいてもだいじょうぶですよ。
You can tie it to the spare rope over there, or it is perfectly fine to take it home with you.
Gesture & etiquette
Hold the folded paper fortune slip in both hands and point toward the crowded tying frame.
Never tie the paper slip to tree branches unless explicitly permitted, as it damages the sacred trees.
