Today we explored Kyoto and visited one of the most famous temples in this city of temples. The Kiyomizu-dera temple was founded in 780, with the current buildings constructed in 1633. The huge veranda of the main temple swarmed with pilgrims and sightseers, the air filled with incense. Benjamin and Samuel used long-handled silver cups to drink from the falls immediately below the temple. The water supposedly grants you health, longevity and academic success.
