Is it permissible for a Kohen to visit the grave of Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai in Meron?

A Kohen is forbidden to become impure through contact with the dead, and even the righteous impart impurity through a dead body. Therefore, there is no permission for Kohanim to enter the grave of Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai in Meron.
