Kiyomizu-dera Temple

On the weekend, the weather is neither cold nor hot. I went hiking with my mom at Kiyomizu Temple. 🏃🏻 The weekend is really crowded, as expected of the most famous temple in Kyoto. There are so many people that it's hard to walk. The ticket 🎫 design of Kiyomizu Temple is different in different seasons. Now it's cherry blossom 🌸 season and it costs 400 💰/person. Half a day is enough! Ei Nen Zaka and San Nen Zaka dessert shop is very good, matcha 🍵 and sweet potato 🍠 are recommended. The Totoro Republic is great for strolling around, bought a lot of small things and love them all. %Coffee, Snoopy, and other internet-famous shops are also worth checking in.~ There are many Kyoto limited souvenirs in the gift shop, such as clothing, fridge magnets, decorations, and so on. ⛩️Kiyomizu-dera Temple (15-minute walk from Kiyomizu-Gojo Station) After visiting the Kiyomizu-dera Temple, you can take a good stroll through the Ninenzaka and Sannenzaka streets. Yasaka Pagoda and Shingendo are popular tourist attractions, as well as filming locations for Detective Conan movie 🎬.

#japantrip The Kyoto special forces' Kyoto pancake making trip from Osaka to Kyoto Station started after having a meal! Due to the time delay, we only went to the first stop in the west of two places: Shimizu Temple. We took the city bus from Kyoto Station (it seems to be 206 and 86, you can use Google Maps to search&) and got off at Shimizu Gojo Station. After getting off, you can see the road signs guiding you to Shimizu Temple. There are various clothing stores, tea shops on both sides of the road, and it takes about 10 minutes to walk to get there! We spent about 1-2 hours on the whole journey, just crazily gnawing on the edge of the Yeji Dam for us.

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.

Visiting Japan's Kiyomizu-dera in the summer means not only encountering crowds, but also facing exceptionally hot weather🥵. Despite the heat, the presence of bright sunshine allows for the capture of many beautiful people and photos😎. This ancient temple in Kyoto, damaged by wars and disasters, was rebuilt to present the appearance we see today. Its most impressive feature is the foundation hanging in mid-air, supported by 139 large round logs, exuding grandeur👍

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 setting. Among them, the most famous is the century-old cherry blossom tree at Sanneizaka in Kyoto. To shoot the blue hour cherry blossom scene, one must rise early; wake up at 4 AM and arrive by 5 AM. There are hardly any people taking photos at that time, most are around Yasaka Pagoda. The beauty is visible to the naked eye. By 6 AM, it starts to get crowded and by 6:30, it's packed. (Kyoto is really competitive! 😭 Many people might not even be awake by 6:30!) If you plan to come for sunset, you should arrive early. - 📍Location: Ninenzaka and Sanneizaka, Higashiyama Ward, Kyoto City, 2 Chome Kiyomizu 🎫Admission: Free Photography date: April 5, 2024 (Currently in full bloom, viewing period is 2 weeks) 🚗Transportation: Navigate to 'Myohoyanotei', take bus routes 202, 206, or 207 to Kiyomizu-michi Station. ‼️Recommended route: Ninenzaka and Sanneizaka ➡️ Yasaka Pagoda ➡️ Kiyomizu-dera ➡️ Hanamikoji ➡️ Yasaka Shrine - ◽️Tips: ☑️ Ninenzaka and Sanneizaka, Yasaka Pagoda, and Kiyomizu-dera are unique street views of Kyoto. The shops along the street and the visitors in kimonos make you feel as if you've traveled back to the shogunate era. ☑️ The sightseeing route I recommend is convenient, and if you want to see cherry blossoms, you can also visit 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 start early and return early for a better experience. -

🌈Kyoto is a destination I adore, this city with a long history is the spiritual homeland of the Japanese and a symbol of Japanese culture. The soul of Kyoto lies in the vermillion color standing amidst the slopes of Mount Otowa - Kiyomizu-dera. Located in the Higashiyama district of Kyoto, Kiyomizu-dera, like a timeless painting, perfectly interweaves the sediment of time with modern vitality, becoming an essential 'check-in sanctuary' for every traveler to Japan💫. 【The Unique Charm of a World Heritage Site】 ⛩️As the crowd flows, slowly climbing up the stone-paved road leading to Kiyomizu-dera, it doesn't take long for the view to be illuminated in an open space. Despite missing the season of colorful autumn leaves, the historic Kiyomizu-dera still proudly displays its dazzling stance, like a brilliant gem embedded in the heart of Kyoto. Even if it's not the spectacular scene of interlacing gold and red, the unique vermillion walls of Kiyomizu-dera reflect against the flawless blue sky, as pure and clear as a crystal stream, giving a bright and pleasant feeling, echoing the profound meaning of its name 'clear water'. ✨This cultural treasure carries the long tradition of the Japanese Hosso sect, and wandering through it is like hearing the echo of the wooden fish in the corridor of time, inspiring awe and respect👍. Before crossing the solemn gate, why not pause and look back, bird's-eye view the streets of Kyoto from above, a timeless cityscape unfolds along the horizon, the distant city in a light mist appears both present and elusive, like a three-dimensional ink painting, inviting endless imagination. 【The Charm of the Overhanging Kiyomizu Stage】 👀The Kiyomizu Stage is undoubtedly the iconic landscape of Kiyomizu-dera, this national treasure-level wooden structure soars into the sky, magnificent yet delicate, overlooking the entire cityscape of Kyoto. Every moment spent on it is a unique experience of dialogue with history and unity with nature, definitely a photo spot not to be missed📸! 【Exploring the Spiritual Spring of Otowa Waterfall】 💦The legendary Otowa Waterfall's three streams, representing health, academics, and love, attract countless visitors to make wishes and pray for blessings. Holding a sip of the refreshing spring water seems to imbue one with the power to cleanse the soul, making your trip to Kyoto even more meaningful and blessed. 【Cultural Experience Tour Around】 🍵☕️If you're tired from walking, why not try a cup of authentic Japanese matcha or a piece of wagashi in the alleys around Kiyomizu-dera, or pick up some exquisite cultural and creative goods incorporating elements of Kiyomizu-dera, making this historical and cultural exploration trip also a pleasure of taste and creative shopping🛍️.

Visited Japan during December, arrived at Kyoto and headed for Kiyomizu-dera!!! Previously experienced Yukata and the usual Kimonos. Very excited to try on the Furisode-Kimono (Kimono with longer sleeves) this time!!! There are many kimono renting stores in the area, but through thorough research and comparing prices before the trip, we decided to make a reservation online at Okamoto Kiyomizu-dera Shop. We went around the area in our Kimono, took a lot of photos and tried out some authentic Matcha 🍵 and Hojicha desserts.

Visiting Kiyomizu-dera in Kyoto is an experience not to be missed! Nestled at the foot of the mountains, the temple offers a serene environment and beautiful architecture. First, it's best to go early in the morning or in the evening to avoid the peak tourist times and enjoy a more tranquil atmosphere. Upon arrival, you can start by paying respects at the temple, then walk up the approach path, taking in the surrounding natural beauty. When you reach the main buildings, don't forget to take photos on the Kiyomizu Stage and admire the magnificent views of the temple and the city. After your visit, explore the traditional shops and delicacies on the nearby streets, and taste authentic Japanese cuisine. Kiyomizu-dera provides a sense of sanctity and tranquility, making it a place for peaceful contemplation.

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
