Yasaka Koshindo Temple or, in its full name, Daikokusan Kongoji Koshindo, located in Higashiyama Ward, Kyoto, Japan. is a small temple dedicated to Koshinsan, who is believed to help those who strive for life and help them become good people. The temple also enshrines three monkeys 🐒 🙈 🙊 covering their eyes, ears, and mouth, which means they do not hear anything inappropriate, see anything inappropriate, and do not say anything inappropriate the most striking feature is the "wishing money" called Kukurizaru, a circular charm made of brightly colored cloth, representing the three loyal moneys. write your wish on the ball and stick it at the temple. It is believed that if you give up one of your greed, your wish may come true. around the temple grounds are stone statues, which are often believed by the Japanese to gods. These gods usually act as protectors of travelers. It is definitely a place worth a visit.
