Just want the key?

Kikakin Shrine is a maze with the lights off: one flashlight, one locked door, one key hidden under a slab, and four chests for anyone who wants to see the whole thing.

The altar door is locked and only the small key matters. Go to the right-hand side of the shrine, follow the corridor toward the northeast until you reach a stone slab you can lift with Ultrahand. The chest beneath it holds the key. Bring it back to the entrance and open the door.
