@1.269773: Take a moment to slow down, listen to the sounds of nature, and experience a different side of Kyoto. Early morning, downtown Kyoto. The streets are quiet. The city hasn’t woken up yet. And then — a hexagonal temple appears between the office buildings. Rokkaku-do (Choho-ji Temple) is over 1,400 years old, yet it sits calmly in the middle of modern Kyoto, completely at peace with the city around it. The six-sided main hall is unlike anything else you’ll find in Japan. This is also the birthplace of ikebana — Japanese flower arranging. Monks here began offering flowers at the altar centuries ago, and that quiet, intentional act became an art form that spread across the world. 📍 Rokkaku-do (Choho-ji Temple) — Kyoto 🚶5-minute walk from Karasuma-Oike Station. 🎫Free to enter. Open daily. follow for more Kyoto Morning Walk👇　 @kyoto_morningwalk #japan #japanlife #kyoto #japantrip #hiddenkyoto
