I Prayed to the Saru for Help…

And the Saru answered. Ever since visiting this hidden shrine in Kyoto, I swear I can feel its judgment whenever I overeat. When I reach for junk food, I imagine its silent, knowing glare. A reminder that all things should be in moderation!

If you're wondering why I'm being intentionally vague about this shrine and its location, that's understandable. Because of the over-tourism Japan (and especially Kyoto) is experiencing right now, I didn't want to put them on blast and have even more people who disrespect the shrine turning up.

This little shrine may not be well-known, but its presence lingers.

Have you ever felt watched after making a prayer?
