A must-visit on a Kyoto trip, the incredibly popular millennium-old temple

🌈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🛍️.
