Este suelo vivo, es mi altar
Y mi sacramento, agua manantial
Que lleva mi rezo, de siglos en siglos
Que este bosque sea, mi catedral

Aquí no encuentre muerte, ni ilusión
Solo resuena vida eternal
Mi reina Madre Tierra, siempre lo cuida
Este bosque sea, mi catedral

🌻FLOWER TEAHOUSE🍵

Flower Teahouse sits on Ninenzaka (二年坂), part of a hill that climbs from Kōdai-ji (高台寺) to Kiyomizu-dera (清水寺), one of Kyōto's most popular temples.

The landscape is carefully preserved, filled with Taishō period buildings.

This is another one of my favorite places and I always make sure to visit it whenever I go to Kyoto. This is Ninenzaka, a shopping street located in the Higashiyama area, near the Kiyomizudera Buddhist temple.

🐭THE MICE SHRINE🐁

At the western foot of Tsubakigamine (椿ヶ峰 'Camellia Hill'), beside the 'Path of Philosophy' (哲学の道 'Tetsugaku-no-michi'), stands Ōtoyo-jinja (大豊神社).

It's more familiarly known as the 'Mice Shrine' (鼠の社 'Nezumi-no-sha').

Yasaka-no-tō is the oldest pagoda within the city proper. Although Hōkan-ji burnt in the Ōnin War, the pagoda survived.

Due to its commanding position, warlords had regularly used the pagoda to advertise their authority and dominion. It was also used as a giant billboard😂

In 1618 the Kyōto Shoshidai (京都所司代 'chief magistrate') Itakura Katsushige (板倉勝重) finally banned its use in this way.
