Kiyomizu-dera Otowa Waterfall

I remember the last time I visited Kiyomizu-dera, it was under renovation for the Tokyo Olympics, so the entire temple was covered, and we couldn't take photos or visit. When we went on March 16th, it rained all day. Because of the rain, the crowd fluctuated; sometimes there were many people, and sometimes there were few. When we lined up at the small mountain spring waterfall next to the main hall, there were very few people. After we finished our prayers and drank the water, the crowd surged, and the line became very long. Otowa Waterfall is famous for its continuous flow from Otowa Mountain and is considered one of Japan's top ten famous waters. The left side is for academic achievement, the middle is for love fulfillment, and the right side is for health and longevity. We drank a bit from all three. Foreigners there found our behavior quite peculiar. 🏖️ Atmosphere/Facilities: Solemn and dignified 💞 Recommended reason: A must-visit spot in Kyoto
