This is fascinating, thank you for sharing. I visited this shrine when I was last in Kyoto but didn't know anything about it. I have since learned a bit and your article has given me even more knowledge. I will definitely return next time and participate in the ritual. Thank you.

Thank you so much for your kind comment! It’s wonderful that you have already been there. Many people visit without knowing the history, so I’m honored that I could help you understand the deeper meaning behind the stone. Please do try crawling through it next time—it is a truly unique feeling.
