Just go straight inside, the Goshuin office is right in front of the rock. 300 yen.

According to http://www.yasui-konpiragu.or.jp/en/stone/ To make a wish (the stone is famous for getting rid of bad relationship):
1. First visit the main inner sanctuary.
2. Next write down your wishes on the KATASHIRO (substitution charm).
3. Take your KATASHIRO charm and reciting your wish go through the monument in the direction from front to back.
4. And in the same manner, holding your KATASHIRO charm and reciting your wish, go through the monument in the direction from back to front.
5. In the end stick your KATASHIRO charm on the monument.

A beautiful shrine dedicated to cutting bad connections and forging new ones! Definitely a shrine to put on the bucketlist, the architecture and beautiful cherry blossoms during spring were such a delight to see!

The tradition of crawling through the rock to sever connections though was a little crowded, but I think worth the little wait for the experience!

Snowing during the morning walk, cut the bad things and wish for the good luck. Kneel down to enter and power stone and exit the power stone. Been here twice in consecutive two mornings.

This is an interesting place It is in the middle of the city, lots of people were there even on a weekday, when they make a wish they go through the hole in the statue and put their wish on a paper It is definitely interesting It is free to enter

A sunny, lively, popular place but don't mistake it for a tourist spot. Worshippers look to be pretty serious about the shrine's purpose, and you can take part, too! If you wish, pay attention to what everyone else is doing, give your >100¥ donation, and write a paper amulet for what or who you want to break with in your life. Hang on to it! Then line up, bow, focus on your wish, and go through the sacred rock, keep focussing, bow, and go back through the rock, bow once again to the rock... then glue your amulet to the wishes cloaking the rock. There are signs explaining how to go about things, but watching others is really the best way to learn. Good luck! The goshuin calligraphy done on my visit was also very accomplished.

Another fun interactive shrine. You can buy the paper and write your wish upon it and stick it onto the shrine. The shrine invites you to crawl in and out of the circular hole drilled out of the middle, then your wish is granted. Time needed about 20mins max.

A nice temple in the Gion district. They have a really clean bathroom that they let us use. The Goshuin is hand-drawn and they let me record it (I asked their permission first). Picked up a couple of charms too.

For keeping harmful relationships away or breaking up with someone. Visit here and crawl through the stone. Also good for married couples and couples with a good relationship to protect its well being. If you do not believe all this mumbo jumbo, than it is a nice place to take a picture of yourself crawling in a hole in a rock.

A beautiful shrine in the middle of Kyoto. To promote good luck, it is suggested to climb through the hole of a rock, but this is fairly small. For most of Europeans this action might pose a challenge. Don't attempt it, difficult to regain freedom, once stuck 😉

Unique shrine that focuses on improving relationships. Crawl in and out of the hole to improve your love life.

One of the best shrines for marriage tie and edge cutting. The location is near Gion.

Beautiful and sacred shrine close to Kiyomizu-dera .. It is believed that if you willingly climb across the tunnel, all bad things that you want to cut down can be diminished..

Cut off bad connection (e.g. bad habit, human relationship) and establish good connection.
How to pray
1. Write down your wishes on the paper
2. Go through the monument from front to back to cut off bad connection while holding the wish paper and praying.
3. Go through the monument from back to front in the same manner.
4. Paste your wish paper on the monument.

Recommended to visit here early in the morning (open 24H).
It may be very crowded during the day.

Fun shrine, but line for blessing gets long if you don't go early.

It’s a small shrine packed with locals. Totally worth dropping by. There were many locals queuing to perform a prayer (crawling through a hole and paste your wishes on it after)

Another interesting shrine, you can rid yourself of bad people if you can’t fit through the hole!

Participants in the annual Kushi Matsuri (comb festival - 櫛まつり) are walking towards the Kushizuka (a comb grave mound) to attend a purifying and memorial service at the Yasui Konpira-Gu (安井金比羅宮) in Kyoto.
All the traditional hair styles, from the ancient times to the present day Maiko are represented. The hair styles are made with natural hair and require very skilled techniques to implement. Every year members of Kyoto Beauty Culture Club recreate these traditional Japanese hairstyles.
The ladies are waiting for the purifying and memorial service at the Yasui Konpira-Gu (安井金比羅宮) in Kyoto to commence.

Great shrine. Many prayers for cutting ties with bad relationships. They inscribed a goshuin in my goshuincho.
