Kiyomizu-dera

I came back to kiyomizu-dera. I have a few photos of this place from when I was 15 but not many memories, I wanted to throw myself in and really make the most of the temple this time so I committed to every activity there. I tried to lift the staffs, paid for incense and a prayer, got a fortune, did the prayer water part, and walked the whole complex.
I found it interesting how worn down the wood was in the temple that the knots were protruding above everything else.
The trees had turned some very nice colours and the day was just beautiful for it. It started out around 6° but I was able to drop my jacket for most of it as it had warmed up in the sun.
There are lots of girls walking around in kimonos as it seems that's how they make the most of the day here.Read more
