KIYOMIZU TEMPLE

This day was just for fun and walking. We went to Kyoto and saw many beautiful temples. We had to take 2 trains to get here. The second train stopped for about 20 minutes because there was a train crash on the way, so they had to clear the rails out so we could continue...

Before we arrived to this temple, we walked through a very traditional beautiful village. The first phot0 is one of the first temples you see, the second one is the hill top entrance to get into Kiyomizu temple, this is the hihest temple and you can see the whole city of Kyoto from there.

The first 2 photos are temple with 3 thick ropes with belts on top, and you move the rope, make the bell sound and make a wish - or pray.

(More cool photos have been posted in my kodak gallery, if you have not receive them and would like to check them out just e-mail me at g-spinosi-phillips@sbcglobal.net)
