Kiyomizu-dera Niomon Gate
Buddhist temple
👍👍 This temple is an absolute must-do in Kyoto for me. Taking your time and dedicating at least a good hour to explore it in its entirety is well worth it. The intricate details and serene atmosphere make it a remarkable experience. And, if you can, make sure to visit before/during sunset – it's especi...
