The shrine, located at the north of Kiyomizu-dera Temple, is popular among young women as a shrine to the god of marriage. It is said that if you able to touch one stone to another in front of the Honden main hall with closing your eyes, your wish for love will come true.
It is one of the most celebrated temples of Japan as founded in 798. We were lucky enough to have visited it on a very bright sunny day, although there were a lot of people, the crowd added to the charm of our Kiyomizu-dera experience since a lot of locals were in their colorful kimonos and many cute Japanese students were on their school trip.
We got there by taxi.
You could see monks praying inside the main temple, locals were catching and drinking sacred water in Otowa waterfall, which is believed to have wish-granting power.
Love the blue sky - a perfect complement to bright orange temples.
On the plane to Kyoto, Japan. Cotton bag is from 'Today's Special' which is a design store in Tokyo (http://www.todaysspecial.jp); Green bag is from Parco Shibuya with Rainbow Flower by Takashi Murakami.
Now I'm reading a eMagazine 'Creative Review' on iPad Mini. They have a print magazine, unlike some other magazine iPad apps, there is a lot more content that is exclusive to the app. But since the size of app is big, downloading is very slow. :(
I love the hours on plane cause you have enough time to read and think without the interruption by cell phone.
