The setting sun casts a shadow over Kiyomizu-dera Temple. Visit before sunset to enjoy two views.

As one of the oldest temples in Kyoto, Kiyomizu is naturally charming and irreplaceable and is considered a must-see attraction when traveling to Japan. After 2023, Kiyomizu Temple will be renovated. People traveling to Kyoto are recommended to arrange an afternoon to arrive around Kiyomizu Temple. You can first visit the shops in the surrounding four blocks and enter Kiyomizu Temple before sunset. In addition to enjoying the beautiful scenery during the day, you can also see the scenery after sunset, which is even more charming with the lights and shadows. The bell tower, west gate and three-story pagoda of Kiyomizu Temple still have their own charm even after dark. At the same time, you can also see the night view of Kyoto from afar. It is definitely a trip worth arranging. #NewYearGoodDestinations #JapanTravel #Kyoto #Kiyomizudera #JapanFreeTravel
