Kiyomizu-dera Temple Guide: Best Tips for Visiting Kyoto’s Famous Waterfall Temple
Why is Kiyomizu-dera still bursting with crowds on a weekday? [facepalm] The winding uphill path was a sea of people when I visited around 4 PM (just two hours before closing at 6)…

Sannenzaka and Ninenzaka (check out pic 6) were equally packed – no surprise since it’s prime cherry blossom season! [shocked] The historic streets were buzzing with visitors snapping photos under the pink blooms.

At this rate, maybe exploring some quieter temples would be a better idea [lol][lol]. Kyoto has so many hidden gems waiting to be discovered beyond the tourist hotspots!
