🛕 Where Time Meets Tranquility: Rokuharamitsu-ji & Reiwakan in Kyoto 🌸🪷

#summervacay Tucked between the bustling streets of Gion and Kiyomizu-dera lies a quiet treasure — Rokuharamitsu-ji, a 10th-century temple whispering tales of Kyoto’s spiritual heart. 1️⃣, you’ll meet the famous statue of Kūya Shōnin, chanting with six miniature Buddhas emerging from his mouth — a haunting, beautiful symbol of devotion. The temple is peaceful, understated, and filled with ancient wooden Buddhist statues that feel incredibly alive. 🕯️✨ 2️⃣ the Reiwakan adds a modern layer — a minimalist museum space housing curated Buddhist art and temple treasures, bridging Heian-era serenity with Reiwa-era reflection. #rokuharamitsuji #reiwakankyoto #hiddenkyoto #kuyashonin #buddhistartjapan #kyototempletrail #spiritualkyoto #heiantoreiwa #kyotoculturewalk #quietsideofkyoto
