【京都・清水寺】2時間かけてぐるっと一周
This video shows a two-hour walk around Kiyomizu-dera Temple, starting from the Niomon Gate around noon . Please also refer to the chapter list in the description . Access : Kiyomizu-dera Temple is about a 30-minute bus ride from JR Kyoto Station . It’s also a 20-minute walk from Yasaka Shrine in the Gion area. There are sightseeing spots and food stalls along the way, so if you make detours, it may take longer. I took the bus to Yasaka Shrine. I changed into a yukata at the Okamoto Kimono Rental Shop. After that, I walked along the stone-paved Nene-no-michi Road, visited Kongoji Temple and Yasaka Koshindo, made a wish to the tied-up monkeys, passed by Yasaka Pagoda, walked up Ninenzaka and Sannenzaka, and arrived at the approach to Kiyomizu-dera Temple. We arrived at Kiyomizu-dera Temple. The walking map featured in the Kyoto School Trip Guide was very useful for exploring the Gion area. I’ve included a link in the description. After walking around Kiyomizu-dera Temple, I arrived at Kiyomizu-dera Temple around 12:00 PM . I wasn’t able to see everything, but I walked around the whole area. The Niomon Gate is 10 meters high. It was burned down in 1469 during the Onin War, but was rebuilt around 1500. This is the view from the Niomon Gate toward the approach to the temple. There seemed to be fewer people than usual. I passed through the Niomon Gate. From underneath the gate, I could see the West Gate and the three-story pagoda. I could also see Kyoto Tower next to the West Gate. Shoun Seiryu ( Shoun Seiryu) This was built in 2000. There is a fence in front of the West Gate, so you can’t climb it. To the right of where I am now are the West Gate and the three-story pagoda. In the background are the Suigudo Hall and the Suikodo Hall. Here is the bell tower. It was built in the 800s and moved to this location in 1607. The three-story pagoda is 30 meters high. It was originally built in 847, but the current pagoda was rebuilt in 1632. To the right of where I am now is the Suikodo Hall, and in front is the Suigudo Hall. Zuikyudo Hall was built in 1735. This is the Mizuko Kannon Hall. Apparently, you can see Kannon from the other side. At Zuikyudo Hall, you can experience a tour of the womb. I lined up for it. Zuikyudo Hall enshrines Daizuigu Bodhisattva, the Bodhisattva who grants the wishes and requests of all living beings. You walk through a pitch-black underground passageway, which resembles the Bodhisattva’s womb. It was so dark, I felt my way through, touching the beads of the rosary that guided me. Foreign visitors should read the explanations in foreign languages before entering. Those who would like to receive an explanation in Japanese should go here. Kiyomizu-dera Temple has many halls, but this is Zuikyudo Hall. The principal image is Daizuigu Bodhisattva. He is a very compassionate Bodhisattva who grants wishes according to everyone’s requests. The Bodhisattva is a secret Buddha, enshrined behind a screen in the back, so direct worship is not possible. Therefore, as part of the “womb tour,” you will enter an underground space modeled after the Bodhisattva’s womb and offer your prayers. It is pitch black inside. Please come this way. Take off your shoes and leave them there. Since it is pitch black, there is a handrail on the left, so please hold on to it as you go. When you go down the stairs, there is a knotted rosary, so please follow the rosary. Along the way, you will come across a Zuikyu Stone, a stone that represents the Bodhisattva. While holding on to the handrail with your left hand, place your right hand on the stone and make one wish. Do not be greedy and make too many wishes. Please take off your shoes here and continue on. When you go down the stairs, there is no light and it is pitch black. It feels like walking through a pitch black cave. On the left side, there is a line of rosary beads about 10 cm in diameter, so touch them as you move forward. After walking a while, you will see the Zuikyu Stone, lit by a faint light. Stroke the stone with your right hand and make your wish. You have returned to the surface . On the right is a three-story pagoda. The Sutra Hall on the left was built in 1633 as a place of learning. It was dismantled and repaired in 2000. You can see Tamura Hall on the left. It was rebuilt in the 1630s. It enshrines Sakanoue no Tamuramaro, Gyoei Koji, and Enchin Shonin. Now, let’s buy a ticket. This is the ticket booth. Since it’s September, the tickets have an autumnal maple leaf design. The backgrounds for the tickets are cherry blossoms in spring, fresh greenery in summer, and snow in winter . Todoroki Gate . Rebuilt in 1631. Pass through here to head to the main hall. In front of you is a chozuya (purification fountain). Let’s purify our hands. Show your ticket to the attendant just before the gate. Go through Todoroki Gate and enter the corridor. To the left of the corridor is Asakura Hall. Founded in 1510, it was moved to its current location and rebuilt in 1633. I’ll try to use Benkei’s walking stick. There’s a line for a while. It’s heavy, so no one can lift it. I quickly gave up. I’m here now . This is the main hall. This is where the famous Kiyomizu Stage is located. It’s a wooden building rebuilt in 1633. Daikokuten, the deity of success. He’s one of the Seven Lucky Gods, bringing good fortune and wealth. But there are two of them… There’s a gift shop and a shop. And here’s the stage. The stage is about 13 meters high and supported by 18 zelkova pillars, each over 400 years old. The current stage was rebuilt in 1633. I thought it would be crowded, but even now, it seems to be less crowded than usual. Let’s take a look at the view from the stage. I’d like to come again during the autumn foliage season. I wonder if I can come next year. I’m heading to the inner sanctuary, where you can get a good view of the Kiyomizu Stage. I’m here now . This is the inner sanctuary I’m heading to . Jishu Shrine is directly in front, but it’s closed for maintenance work. The construction period is undetermined. I think the area surrounded by a gray sheet is the sutra offering office. Jizo statue. Next to Jizo statue is Shakado Hall, rebuilt in 1631. While the outside is simple, inside are vermilion-painted pillars and brightly colored furnishings, and apparently there’s a painting of a heavenly maiden on the ceiling. Next to the Shakado Hall is the Amida Hall. Before seeing the Amida Hall, we head to the back. It seems you could also enter the Shakado Hall from here. This may be a replacement for the sutra offering office, which is currently under construction. Here we see the Hall of 100 Jizo statues. Parents who lost their children searched for a Jizo statue that resembled their child and devoutly worshipped it. We walk behind the Amida Hall. Passing the Amida Hall, we emerge at the back of the inner sanctuary. The cool water feels wonderful. Behind the inner sanctuary is a small Wet-Handed Kannon statue. The water we used to wash our hands earlier is supposed to be scooped up with a ladle and poured over this Kannon statue. This Kannon statue performs the water purification ritual on behalf of the person who performed the ritual. Returning to the front, we come to the Amida Hall. Statue of Amida Nyorai. The building was rebuilt in 1631. Next door is the Okunoin. It’s a great place to see the Kiyomizu Stage. I’m here now. Photographed with Insta360 ace pro2 and Leica Vivid. There seem to be fewer people at the Kiyomizu Stage than usual. Photographed with Google Pixel 8. Conversely, the Amida Hall and Okunoin can be seen from the Kiyomizu Stage. The population density is higher in the Okunoin than at the Kiyomizu Stage. You can see the Kiyomizu Stage from places other than the Okunoin. Fureai Kannon, located in the Okunoin. Let’s stroke it and pray. Near Fureai Kannon, Moriyashajin is also enshrined. As a yaksha, originally an evil spirit, he is now a guardian deity, protecting the inner sanctuary. Even so, there are hardly any Japanese people here. I can’t hear any Japanese. Leaving the inner sanctuary, I head toward Otowa Falls. I walk along a slope in the mountains for a while. Along the way, there’s a spot where you can see the Kiyomizu Stage and the three-story pagoda. Check your right side occasionally as you walk. On the way to the waterfall, you’ll see this sign on the left. On the right is the Fukurokuju Stone Buddha, said to be a representation of Gyoei Layman during a training exercise in the late 700s. We’re here now, and it’s uphill, but if you’re feeling energetic, it’s worth checking. You can also see the Kiyomizu Stage. It’s a little far away, but you can see it from the front. At the top is the Koyasu Pagoda. Its founding date is unknown, but the current building was rebuilt in 1500. It enshrines Koyasu Kannon and is highly revered for safe childbirth. Here is Taisanji Temple, guarding the Koyasu Pagoda. I’m here now. After seeing the Koyasu Pagoda, I returned. I continued on the path again. Otowa Inari Daimyojin is a first-ranking shrine, making it the highest-ranking shrine. Despite that, there isn’t much information available. It’s also unusual that the fox god has round ears. I continued on the path again. Directly ahead is the stage of Kiyomizu. And to the left are rows of moss-covered stone Buddha statues. I looked into it, but I couldn’t find anything about them. Now I’m here . Toilet. The downhill slope is over. Nearly at Otowa Falls. There’s something like a riverbed on the left, but it’s off-limits. The udon restaurant on the right seems to be closed . Otowa Falls comes into view in the background on the right. This is the waterfall that marked the founding of Kiyomizu-dera Temple and gave the temple its name. People scoop up the clear water with a ladle and pray for the purification of the six senses and the fulfillment of their wishes. It’s a popular spot, so there’s a line in front of the falls. When it’s your turn, take one of the dippers on the right and go under the waterfall. This dipper is long and a little heavy. It’s a mystery why it’s glowing at the back. It falls from a height of four meters, so it’s quite shocking. Drinking this water is supposed to grant your wish, but I made my wish while washing my hands. The waterfall is a little far away. Some people drink the water with the dipper, so perhaps the blue light was used to sterilize it in storage. I see. Once you’ve finished making your wish, put the dipper back. Kurikara Ryuo. Each of the three waterfalls has a meaning. Looking from the front, the one on the far right represents longevity, the one in the middle represents success in love, and the one on the far left represents academic success. I wanted longevity, but it was crowded, so I decided to draw water from the empty middle waterfall. I continued along the route again. I was right below the Kiyomizu-no-Butai stage. Students on a school trip were peering down. I’m here now. Is this Todorokimon? The rest of the route is the return route. I had planned to take a quick video and take photos on the second round, but I didn’t have the energy left. At the Otowa Jizo-son, there is a sign that reads “Safe Journey. ” Aterui and Morei Monument This monument commemorates Aterui and Morei, who were executed on August 13, 802. In the 800s, they were military commanders of Hidakami Province, located in what is now the Tohoku region, outside the sphere of influence of the Yamato government. Sakanoue no Tamuramaro highly praised the two men’s bravery and character and brought them back to Kyoto. They then pleaded with the government for clemency, but due to opposition from the nobles, they were executed. If you walk a little further from here , you will find Shitakiri Teahouse on the left. I’m very thirsty, but I want regular water. Apologies for the crooked camera. I continue walking in search of water. On the right is Enmeizaka Hill. Climbing it will take you to the Niomon Gate. This eleven-story stone pagoda was built in the early Edo period in the 1600s to pray for the reconstruction of the temple buildings. You can see the three-story pagoda above. I couldn’t find the boundary line, but by this point I was already past the entrance to the temple. Here we are, the Hojo Pond . In Buddhism, this is a pond where captured seafood is released alive. This is the last tourist spot at Kiyomizu-dera. Apparently, the view from this pond is beautiful during the cherry blossom and autumn foliage seasons, as well as when the area is lit up. I wondered which way I should go. I was looking for water, and ended up at the teahouse, Rokkatei. Water, I could see the water. I didn’t need anything sweet, so I asked for water. I only bought one bottle of water, but they let me rest inside. I felt revived. The menu included sweets, shaved ice, drinks, and many other items. It took about two hours of walking from the time I arrived in front of the Niomon Gate to this teahouse. The End . Thank you for watching until the end. Please come and see me again. See you soon!
