Temples on the high street: Kyôto Teramachi and Shinkyôgoku

A typical Japanese covered high street, right? Yes, there are lots of shops left and right, but this is Kyôto, a millennial capital and centre of cultural and religious tradition in Japan. So what happens when a modern high street encounters a centuries-old temple, bearing in mind that it would be very bad form to ask the priests to sell up?

Well you leave the temple alone and build around it. So, in between the big name drugstores, Animate, clothes shops and cafés lined with the street's signature bricks and tile floor, here's the entrance to Seishin-in, with traditional wooden doors and tile roofing. It is also just visible in the first picture - see if you can notice it.

Seigan-ji is easier to spot, further illustrating the contrast. Online maps show that this temple even has a cemetery in the middle of the next block, completely encircled by shopping streets and businesses.

It's a similar situation for Tenshô-ji, though, this far up the high street, the commercial tissue becomes less dense. These temples seem a bit larger and own more land. Still, we've gone from a towering, mineral, covered street in the top photo, to an open path with low buildings and plenty of vegetation, with no transition.

These scenes of coexistence fascinated me when I first visited Kyôto in 2016, with a hotel in this area, so it was great to see them again on my brief return to the city in 2023. More fascinating still is the fact that one of these "just off the high street" temples is not only very old, but hugely historically significant... and I'm yet to mention it!

’24.6.1 長岳寺にて

夕刻も迫ってきて、@masachi さんとの撮影会もいよいよ佳境に。

「ネコさんに会いたい😺」という僕のリクエストとmasachiさんのご提案で石上神宮から同じ天理市の長岳寺へ。拝観受付終了ぎりぎりで境内へ滑り込み。もう人はいなく貸し切り状態でゆったり巡って、最後の最後でネコさん登場。いやいやよかったよかったｗ

陽が傾く駐車場に戻るとさすがに腹ペコ。masachiさんと彩華ラーメン食べて帰りました。masachiさん、お疲れ様でございましたｗ
