After a pleasant ride through Maiko and Geisha alleyways, we visit one of Kyoto's most unusual and fascinating Shinto shrines, where visitors come seeking to cut ties with bad relationships or habits and form stronger and more positive ones. At the heart of the shrine there is a large sacred stone with a hole in the center. The ritual involves writing your wishes on a piece of paper and crawling through the hole to symbolize breaking away from the past and welcoming new ties.
