Kiyomizudera (清水寺, literally "Pure Water Temple") is one of the most celebrated temples of Japan. It was founded in 780 on the site of the Otowa Waterfall in the wooded hills east of Kyoto and derives its name from the fall's waters. The temple was originally associated with the Hosso sect, one of the oldest schools within Japanese Buddhism, but formed its own Kita Hosso sect in 1965. In 1994, the temple was added to the list of World Heritage Sites. #kiyomizudera #kiyomizu-dera #japan #kyoto #100WaysOfTravel

The sudden afternoon shower made us linger a bit longer on the Kiyomizu stage. Listening to the rapid raindrops hitting the umbrella and the hurried footsteps of people seeking shelter under the eaves, it felt like a joyful gathering. At the same time, the air was filled with the fresh scent of soil and damp leaves. The stone steps became slippery, adding a touch of mystery and tranquility to the ancient temple and the surrounding forest. Watching the wooden structure of the distant temple appear and disappear in the rain, we could quietly appreciate this historical sanctuary, as if time had turned back, allowing us to experience the harmony of this land with ancient Zen practitioners. After the rain cleared, we walked to Otowa Waterfall, where the sound of the spring water became even clearer, as if the raindrops had washed away the dust of the world. The fresh air carried a hint of sweetness, and the spring water flowed gently between the rocks like a soft melody, a pure gift from nature. It is said that drinking this spring water brings health, wisdom, and longevity. At that moment, we took a sip, feeling its coolness and sweetness, and our hearts were filled with tranquility and gratitude.

Kyoto seems to have a more rustic feel compared to Osaka, with cash-only establishments being more common. Visiting the distinctly Japanese-style Kiyomizu-dera 🏯, the cool breeze and the panoramic view of Kyoto city swept away the fatigue of climbing up. With temples at every step, Fushimi Inari Taisha always brings to mind the image of foxes... 🚶 Randomly walking into a few ramen shops 🍜, I found them to suit my taste better than some Michelin-starred restaurants. I even had the best sukiyaki 🥘 from a century-old restaurant. During the Gion Matsuri, the entire city is immersed in the festive atmosphere, with both locals and foreigners celebrating the grandest festival of the year. It's common to encounter parade teams in the streets, listen to traditional Japanese tunes 🎶, and occasionally see geishas just off work. Strolling along the Kamo River, feeling the cool breeze 🍃, one can completely relax and simply feel a sense of ease and happiness.

Kiyomizu-dera Temple, a temple registered as a World Heritage Site or what Thai people like to call "Clear Water Temple", is a temple that is a destination for many people who intend to visit Kyoto. Today, we will take you to visit Clear Water Temple, which is more than just praying for blessings. 🫖 Starting from the path up to Kiyomizu-dera Temple or "Teapot Street", which in Japanese is called "Go-Jozaka" because there are cute pottery shops lined up along both sides. And this road is full of souvenir shops and famous Kyoto sweets all the way to the temple. Some shops will even let you try them for free. 🧁 Must-try sweets include Cream Puff from Yatsuhashi and triangular mochi, which is a unique characteristic of Kyoto. ⛩️ When you get to the entrance, buy a ticket to enter the temple for adults for 400 yen. When you walk in, you will see the entrance gate and the three-story pagoda called the Nio-mon Gate. ⛩️ Then walk to the main hall of the temple and you will find a staff. Let's pray for what we want and then lift the staff. If we can lift it, it means that it will come true (women should lift the small staff, men should lift the big one). 🙏🏻 Then go to worship and ask for blessings from the Bodhisattva Guanyin with 11 faces and 1000 arms, which is the principal Buddha image of the temple, and the god Ebisu, the god of wealth and prosperity. ⛩️Walk to see Hondo (Hondo), the main building of Nam Sai Temple. The building is 13 meters high and built using the ancient method called Kakezukuri, which is a construction using a wooden structure with mortise locks without nails. There are 18 large pillars at the bottom that support the weight. 📸 Go take a photo at the popular angle opposite the main building of the temple, where you can see the main building of the temple along with the view of Kyoto, including Kyoto Tower (Kyoto Tower) at the same time. ⛩️Go to ask for blessings at the red pagoda Koyasu Pagoda (子安塔), which is a hall for praying for family and children. 💦 Lastly, don't miss Go drink Otowa Waterfall, 3 waterfalls that mean health, love, and success in education 🚊 Travel to Kiyomizu Temple You can go by bus or train, but we chose the train because the bus was congested. But the train is a bit farther, so it's a walk. - We started from Kyoto station, took the Nara Line to Tofukuji station. - Walk for about 2 minutes to Keihen Main Line station. - Take the train to Kiyomizu-Gojo station. - Walk for about 20 minutes to Kiyomizu Temple. (You'll pass the teapot street, walking around looking at things is fun.) ♥️ For those who have been there or are planning to go, comment to talk or ask for more details. ☺️ #tripgiveawayfreeaccommodation #traveljapanbyyourself #traveljapan #japan #traveljapan

The first time I went to Kyoto was during the maple leaf season. The Kinkaku-ji Temple, the Sagano Scenic Railway, and the Kiyomizu-dera Temple surrounded by a sea of red and green leaves left me in awe of Kyoto! Last summer, I went to the Kifune Shrine just to try the flowing noodles. Although the line was too long and I didn't get to eat, I enjoyed water fortune-telling and soaked up plenty of negative ions. This April, I came back to chase the cherry blossoms. Even though they weren't in full bloom, the weather was perfect as I strolled along. I enjoyed the seventy percent bloomed Yoshino cherry trees, a century-old Western-style restaurant, authentic sukiyaki, and more, satisfying both my eyes and taste buds. Indeed, Kyoto is my favorite place, without a doubt!

Some say 'Kyoto is in Japan, but the real Japan is in Kyoto.' There are many cherry blossoms in Japan, either in clusters or a particularly large one in a courtyard style. And the most famous among them is the century-old cherry tree at Sanneizaka in Kyoto. To shoot the blue hour cherry blossom scene, one must wake up early, get up at 4 AM and arrive by 5 AM. There are hardly any people shooting, most are around Yasaka Pagoda. The beauty is visible to the naked eye, live photos straight out. By 6 AM, it starts to get crowded, and by 6:30, it's practically overflowing. (Kyoto is really competitive! 😭 Many people might not even be up by 6:30!) - 📍Location: Ninenzaka Sannenzaka, Higashiyama Ward, Kyoto City, 2 Chome Kiyomizu 🎫Admission: Free Shooting Date: March 29, 2024 (Currently in full bloom, viewing period is 2 weeks) 🚗Transportation: Navigate to 'Myohoyenotei', take bus routes 202, 206, or 207 to Kiyomizu-michi Station ‼️Recommended Route: Ninenzaka Sannenzaka ➡️ Yasaka Pagoda ➡️ Kiyomizu-dera ➡️ Hanami-koji ➡️ Yasaka Shrine - ◽️Tips: ☑️ Ninenzaka Sannenzaka, Yasaka Tower Kiyomizu-dera, are unique street landscapes of Kyoto. The shops along the street and the visitors wearing kimonos make you feel as if you've traveled back to the shogunate era. ☑️ The sightseeing route I recommend is along the way, and if you want to see cherry blossoms, you can also go to Kyoto Imperial Palace and Kamo River, which are both in full bloom right now. ☑️Kyoto's cherry blossom season is very crowded, so it's advised to go out early and return early for a much better experience.

Kyoto day trip without taking the wrong path Route: 1. Kiyomizu-dera 2. Sannenzaka and Ninenzaka 3. Yasaka Shrine 4. Gion Hanami Lane 5. Fushimi Inari Shrine The first four checkpoints are all together, follow my route and you won't take a detour, after visiting these four, just switch to the subway, bus, or take a taxi to Fushimi Inari Shrine. Although there are many people in Kyoto, Kyoto is so distinctive, it looks good no matter how you take pictures. Sannenzaka and Ninenzaka are also the most crowded places in Kyoto, it's better to get there around nine o'clock for photos, as there will be relatively fewer people, and it gets very crowded at noon and in the afternoon. There are many small alleys in Sannenzaka and Ninenzaka to explore, some alleys are less crowded and look great for photos. There are also many shops in the scenic area that rent kimonos and offer makeup services, and the costumes make the photos even better. You can spend a whole morning exploring Sannenzaka and Ninenzaka, and then head to Yasaka Shrine, which I think is just average, right across the street is Gion Hanami Lane. Fushimi Inari Shrine requires a change of transportation, I suggest spending an afternoon there, because it's big and beautiful, great for taking pictures. You can refer to another one of my notes, which has many pictures of Fushimi Inari Shrine. Kyoto truly represents Japan today, very characteristic, I hope everyone can take photos to their satisfaction.

In Kyoto, the red leaf season is divided into particularly bustling places and generally bustling places. Kiyomizu-dera is a particularly bustling place, so it's a must-visit. Even if there are many people, you can still have your own way of enjoying it. Remember every little detail. The donut coffee breakfast shop on the uphill road, the view of Kyoto city from the observation deck, taking photos of the three-story pagoda under the sunlight from various angles, buying all kinds of amulets, queuing for the Three Holy Waters, sitting in the tea room at the exit to have tea and small dumplings, visiting the bustling Sannenzaka and Ninenzaka, checking in at the popular tea shop Yun no Cha, and tasting the eel rice that I love from Kamado. Nanzen-ji is also worth visiting. It seems that I ran into a celebrity at the Hojo Pavilion, which is a common occurrence in Kyoto at this time.

If you're planning a second trip to Japan, Kyoto is a must-visit city! 🗺 Itinerary: 3 days is ideal to explore Kyoto thoroughly. Day 1⃣: Experience Kimono (9:00) — Kiyomizu-dera — Ninen-zaka/Sannen-zaka — Gion — Hanamikoji — Return Kimono at 17:30 — Yasaka Shrine for Night View (These places are close, feel free to adjust based on your preferences) Day 2⃣: Morning: Fushimi Inari Taisha (Direct JR/Hankyu Line) Afternoon: Kinkaku-ji / Picnic by the Kamo River Evening: Relax and wait for sunset along the Kamo River (Navigate to Sanjo Station, the most beautiful section of the Kamo River is there) Night: Nishiki Market / Dinner near the Kamo River Day 3⃣: Option 1: Kifune Shrine — Ryoan-ji — Sanzen-in Option 2: Arashiyama (Both routes are quite far, dedicate a whole day, choose one) 🚇 Transportation: Other Cities to Kyoto: Recommend taking JR, fast and cheaper than Shinkansen Local Transportation in Kyoto: Two types of one-day passes available (details on p15) Suggest buying the 700 yen bus one-day pass, especially useful for Day 1's route. Be cautious about the 1100 yen subway + bus pass; JR and Hankyu lines are not covered, and it doesn't work for Fushimi Inari Taisha!! Stick to the red and green subway lines. 🏨 Accommodation: Recommend staying near Kyoto JR Station for convenience. You can walk to the hotel as soon as you arrive in Kyoto, avoiding the hassle of dragging luggage around. Most Japanese hotels allow check-in only after 15:00, so drop your luggage and start exploring beforehand.#日本旅行攻略 #週末遊 #境外遊 #京都 #京都旅行 #境外遊 #嵐山

#fallishere The Kiyomizu-dera Temple(清水寺) is undoubtedly one of Kyoto's most famous temples, and also being one of the most popular tourist destinations especially during autumn season, lushy maple leaves of the surrounding area turning into stunning colourful autumn foliage.

There are many places in Kyoto to enjoy the autumn leaves, from the mountains to the plains, so the viewing period is relatively long. Generally, the most splendid time is from late November to early December. Here are some recommended places and times for viewing autumn leaves in Kyoto: 🍁 Kiyomizu-dera 📅 November 24th to December 7th The famous Kiyomizu-dera offers a panoramic view of Kyoto covered in maple leaves. There is also an evening illumination event. 🍂 Arashiyama 📅 November 23rd to December 7th You can choose to take the Arashiyama scenic train or the Hozu River boat to enjoy the maple leaves. There is also a one-day limited "Arashiyama Momiji Festival" held on the second Sunday of November. 🍁 Kifune Shrine 📅 November 19th to December 1st This place has over 1600 years of history and autumn charm. 🍂 Eikando 📅 November 20th to December 2nd It is known as the "Temple of Maple Leaves" and the "Hosshin-ike" pond inside the temple is also worth visiting.

We love Kyoto for its architecture as well as its rich history. Walking our way up to Kiyomizudera just before its closing time around 5:30pm and we were so delighted to catch the golden hour here. The sunset shine beautifully on the temple and its surroundings. It is interesting to know that most of Kiyomizudera’s buildings have been destroyed numerous times due to fire, and have been rebuilt again and again. Most of the present structure were reconstructed in 1633. Kiyomizudera Temple was registered on the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage List as one of the Historic Monuments of Ancient Kyoto as well. #weekendgetaways #mytraveldiaries

📍Kiyomizu-dera Temple 🇯🇵 Located in Kyoto, the old capital of Japan. The highlight of Kiyomizu Temple is the large wooden building and the 13-meter-high balcony, built since the Edo period. 💦 “Kiyomizu (清水)” means pure water, so it is called the Clear Water Temple. A Japanese friend told Gammy that this is water flowing from 3 waterfalls that flow into a pond. You can pray for 3 blessings: health, love, and success in education. 🙏 🎋 The beauty of the temple is the beautiful nature. In the fall, people like to come here to see the red leaves. It is very beautiful. But Gammy came in the spring, so it was quite green. 💰 If you visit inside, the entrance fee is 400 yen per person, which is about 100 baht. #kyoto #clearwatertemple #kyoto #japan #japan #traveljapan #gmmsdiary #traveljapan2023 #updatejapan2023

Kiyomizu-dera Temple is a Buddhist temple in Kyoto famous for its large wooden terrace. It has been added to UNESCO world heritage sites in 1994. Right away you will notice its stunning architecture, contrasting with the surrounding mountains. When you visit its wooden stage, you will see numerous coloured trees below, as well as of the city of Kyoto in the distance. The ticket is just 400JPY and it took me about an hour to walk through the temple grounds. It is one of the must-see attractions in Kyoto, so expect lots of groups of tourists, or come early in the morning for a more relaxed experience. Right after your visit to the temple, take a walk through the beautiful Philosopher's path, which I posted about separately.

I haven't been to Japan for more than three years, this plan trip is quite excited, specially plan a day to Kyoto, because the most anticipated is to visit the Japanese temple - Kiyomizu Temple, spring, summer, autumn and winter tickets are different, like to collect or You can come in all seasons as a souvenir 🤣, it's worth coming a few more times, because Japanese architecture is really eye-opening. This time I chose to go at the end of March, just in time for the cherry blossom season. Seeing many different varieties of cherry blossoms, and coincidentally at dusk, watching the sunset until closed door can not miss, but actually along the road long Kiyomizu Temple, nearby there are many shopping streets and food streets, I tried the most famous local Matcha dessert🍵, if you happen to come near Kyoto, you must try this cafe "云ノ茶kumonocha".

One of the most favorite places in Kyoto, Kiyomizu-dera is a Buddhist temple located in eastern Kyoto. The temple is part of the Historic Monuments of Ancient Kyoto UNESCO World Heritage site. Kiyomizu-dera is best known for its wooden stage that juts out from its main hall, 13 meters above the hillside.

Here’re some photos of Kyomizu-dera in autumn🍁 The beautiful maple trees just blew my mind 🥹#mytripvlog #awesomepic #passionpassport #celebratewithtrip #2023travelwish #japan #kyototravel #kiyomizudera

Kyoto is known for its shrines, and Kiyomizu-dera Temple is one of the most popular! I've been there many times, but my recommendation is to go at sunset! Most shrines and temples close at around 4pm, but Kiyomizu-dera Temple is open at night (temple stamps are accepted until 4:30). The photo was taken at around 5pm in late February! You can get a beautiful shot of the sun setting in the west and the stage of Kiyomizu-dera Temple! It's also recommended to take a photo halfway down the slope from the main hall! *However, please note that the souvenir street in front of Kiyomizu-dera Temple closes early. #KyotoTourism #Kiyomizu-dera #Kiyomizu-Gojo #Kyoto

Have you experienced Hatsumōde in Japan? Hatsumōde is a popular Japanese tradition that involves people visiting shrines and temples during the New Year holidays. Kiyomizu-dera is one of the most popular places in Japan to practice this tradition in. It can be very busy so I suggest going early to avoid crowds. #kiyomizudera #清水寺 #kyoto #京都 #京都旅行 #旅行 #japan #japantravel

⛩️ Taking the JR from Osaka Station to Kyoto only took a little over half an hour, very convenient. Arriving in Kyoto, I went straight to Kiyomizu Temple, where you can overlook the entire cityscape of Kyoto. Missed the cherry blossoms of spring and the colorful autumn leaves, leaving some regrets for next time. Even though it's not the most beautiful season in Kyoto right now, many people still come here. You can also draw a fortune slip at Kiyomizu Temple. It is said that the accuracy of seeking marriage here is very high. It only costs 100 yen to draw a fortune slip. I drew a great fortune, and I was so happy. Although it may not be completely accurate, it is a kind of happy psychological comfort. . ⛩️: Kiyomizu-dera Temple 📍Location: 294 Kiyomizu 1-chome, Higashiyama-ku, Kyoto 605-0862, Japan 🚇Take bus 206/100 to Wutiaosaka Station and walk to the destination. .
