As of January 2018, Konkokyo maintains membership in the Kyoha Shintō Rengokai (Association of Sectarian Shinto).

to Shinto practices.
Since Jinja Shinto is the more common organization of Shinto way in Japan, it is thought Konkokyo is different than Shinto. But it is more accurate to say it only differs from Jinja Shinto, but it is still Shinto roots. The only few main differences between Jinja Shinto and Konkokyo are:

In addition, if one has the financial ability and wishes to receive the items, it is taught that it is good to support the other kamis and Buddha's shrines or temples instead. This is also why Konkokyo does not have set ritual fees, nor requires donations from visitors or parishioners.
