Kiyomizu Temple(清水寺)


I went to Kiyomizu Temple(清水寺) few days ago.
It takes only 20~30 mins walk from A-yado.
It is one of the most famous temple in Kyoto and registered on the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage List as one of the Historic Monuments of Ancient Kyoto in 1944.

This temple's veranda juts out of the side of a mountain supported by 13-meter-high wooden columns.
The view from there is very beautiful and make you calm.
Also there is a Japanese expression"to jump off the stage at Kiyomizu(清水の舞台から飛び降りる)"after this veranda of Kiyomizu Temple.
It is the same expression as "Take the plunge" in English.
So i had to make a big decision, i always went there and thought about it on this veranda.

If you have to make a big decision, try to stand and think about it on there.
It would be going well!!
