#寺町 — Public Fediverse posts

Many temples along Teramachi Street, such as Kō-dō (革堂 aka Gyōgan-ji 行願寺 the 'Deer Hide Temple'), grow tubs of fujibakama from the late summer, attracting large numbers of butterflies.

The approach to the temple was once so filled with worshippers on their way to pray to 'Tako Yakushi' (蛸薬師) that the road's name was changed to 'Takoyakushi-dōri' (蛸薬師道)...and the name stuck.
