Yasui Kompiragū Shrine

Unclaimed

This is a nice shrine you can visit while exploring the area. Not too crowded and has one of the more interesting activities to do to grant a wish, you crawl through a hole in a big rock.

The shrine is beautiful and it’s easy to write your wishes and stick them. There is a lot of explanation about this. Unfortunately I couldn’t fit through the crawl space as a Western woman of size 16 and with a lot of people I watching, I felt humiliated

Nice! Not everyone crawls in the hole as it is very narrow but a beautiful temple.

Looking for a truly unique spiritual experience in Kyoto? Yasui Konpiragu Shrine is one of the most fascinating and mysterious places to visit, especially if you wish to cut off toxic relationships or bad luck, and invite positive new connections into your life. Located near the famous Gion district, this shrine is famous for its “Enkiri-Enmusubi Ishi” – a sacred stone tunnel covered in thousands of paper talismans (known as katashiro). Visitors write their wishes, crawl through the hole in the stone to symbolically sever bad relationships (going forward), and then return through the opposite direction to welcome good ones. Why visit? Very local and off-the-beaten-path vibe Strong spiritual presence and unique rituals A perfect place to reflect and reset your energy Great photo spot with colorful paper talismans Whether you’re going through a breakup
