Imamiya Shrine - Avoiding epidemics Summer-only Eisha Goshuin This shrine is a place where people pray to avoid disasters, along with the famous Yasaka Shrine, which was built to stop epidemics during the Heian period. It is located in a natural environment, and the air is very clean and soothing. When I visited in July, there was a summer-only goshuin. Summer-only Eisha Goshuin - 1,000 yen *You can write it directly in your goshuin book, not in advance Imamiya Shrine is famous for its "Yasurai Dolls (300 yen each)" that can be used to avoid epidemics and pray for good health.
