Ekochiu is a Shrine in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom. Ekochiu Shrine is a Rise and Fall Shrine testing the player's skills in finding the objectives that will solve the puzzles using Link's abilities. Shrines are mini-dungeons, housing quick trials such as puzzles or short enemy encounters. Once a Shrine has been completed, the player obtains a Light of Blessing, an item key to obtaining more Heart Containers and Stamina Vessels, and the Shrine is unlocked as a Fast Travel point. If the Shrine has not been completed but has been activated, it will be marked in yellow on the map. It will still be available for fast travel so that can players return and complete the Shrine at a later time.

Ekochiu Shrine Walkthrough Guide
Reaching Ekochiu Shrine
The Ekochiu Shrine is located on the southwest edge of the Eldin Region, right along the border of the Central Hyrule region. There’s no special way to get there, so simply head north from the Woodland Stable to find the shrine entrance.
How to Complete Ekochiu Shrine
Inside and down the stairs you’ll see an elevated tile, and ahead of it a block on an inclined railing. Stepping on the tile shoots the block across. The block will then come back naturally with gravity. As the shrine description suggests, you’ll have to take advantage of gravity as objects rise and fall to move forward. Step on the tile to shoot the block across the gap once. When it comes back, get on top of it and then use Recall on it for a free ride across. In the next room, you’ll see a block fall from an upper area into some water in front of you. You’ll simply have to do the same thing you did in the previous area. Use Ultrahand to bring the block closer to you first to make the process faster. After you get on top of it, jump to the chest on your right first containing a Strong Zonaite Shield. Jump back on the block now and use Recall on it for a free ride to the next room. The elevated tile in front of you pushes up whatever is in the square tile further ahead in the lower area. The block you want is on your right so place it on that spot first with Ultrahand, then head back up and step on the tile to shoot the block directly upwards. Once it lands back down, climb on top of it and then use Recall to bring it back up.
Jump and glide across the gap to the green runes and examine them to obtain a Light of Blessing and unlock the Ekochiu Shrine on your map for Fast Travel.
