Shōkokuji
After the first few months spent in the dormitory in the Shimogamo area, for almost four years I lived in an area called Shōkokuji Monzenchō, abutting the Shōkokuji Buddhist temple.
The latter is a large complex of pavilions, large and small, open even at night because its inner alleys are arteries of some importance for pedestrian and bicycle traffic. For a period of its early days, ISEAS, the Italian School of East Asian Studies, was also housed inside a pavilion at Shōkokuji.
