Review:
The Kiyomizu-dera Temple was founded in the eighth century during the early Heian period. An English-speaking tour led by a priest is a great way for international visitors to learn about the history of this ancient temple. The temple is named for the waterfall in the complex. Visitors drinking from the waterfall are said to experience good health and longevity. Those seeking true love can close their eyes and try to walk between a pair of “love stones” at a shrine dedicated to Okuninushi. Talismans and paper fortunes are also available for purchase by guests who are hoping for good luck.
