Yasaka Koshindo

Make a wish to the colorful Kukuri Monkey at Yasaka Koshindo in Gion

Known as "Koshin-san," it is one of the three most popular shrines in Japan. In the main hall, a statue of the three monkeys, "see no evil, speak no evil, hear no evil," is enshrined. It is also famous for its prayers such as "konjaku-seizing prayer," which seals out intractable diseases, and "kocho prayer," which attracts lost items.

The multicolored "kukuri-monkeys" that colorfully decorate the temple grounds represent monkeys tied to human greed, and it is said that if you make a wish and endure one of your desires, your wish will be granted.
