Travel Diary to “Kiyomizu Temple” in Kyoto | Japan📗

A monk who had led an ascetic life in Nara discovered a pure, gushing waterfall in Mt. Otowa, Kyoto.
It was named “Kiyomizu-dera” because a temple was built on the spot.
“Kiyomizu” means “pure water” in Japanese.
In the precincts, there are many highlights such as the “three-storied pagoda”, one of the largest in Japan, the “Hondo (Main Hall)” with a stage that is crowded with many pilgrims, and the “Otowa Waterfall”.

□Notices
It provides landscapes to match each season, including cherry blossoms in spring, lush green in summer, colored leaves in autumn, and snowscapes in winter.
🌸The best time to see cherry blossoms is usually from late March to early April🌸
🍁The best time to see autumn leaves is from late November to early December🍁

[The origin of a famous Japanese saying]
There is a popular Japanese saying, “to jump off the stage of Kiyomizu.” It means to make a bold decision and “take a plunge,” as if jumping off the stage protruding from the Main Hall which was built on the high, steep slope.
