Thank you for the great tour break down of Kiyomizu-dera and their superstitions! How long did it take to walk the entire grounds like that?

[@WanderlustWellman]

No problem, thanks for watching! We spent maybe 1.5 hours here, but you could easily spend more or less depending on how long you stop and take in the different areas

[@strifeh]

@@WanderlustWellman thanks for the quick response! I figured it would be variable but wanted to get an approximate idea so I can budget enough time for our visit. Cheers!

That’s awesome, how was your experience at Kiyomizudera? I’m glad you watched my video and found it helpful, that’s exactly why I make these video guides 😁

[@WanderlustWellman]

Did you go?

[@laagangkatabang]

Wonderful tour... The best country in Asia I wish I can travel in Japan I really like sceneries. Interesting place

[@WanderlustWellman]

Thanks so much, we really enjoyed our time in Japan. Hope you can visit someday!

[@sallyharden8706]

Thank you for the great tour guide. I am due to visit Japan in 2 weeks! Is the map you showed available at the temple?

[@WanderlustWellman]

Thank you for watching the video, that is awesome that you are visiting Japan so soon! Hopefully the cherry blossoms will be fully bloomed while you are there. I'm almost positive that the map I showed is available at the temple but it might be only in Japanese. Enjoy your trip!

[@cosmicnhilist]

How long do you ideally need to explore kiyomizu dera? Are 2 hours enough?

[@WanderlustWellman]

I’d say 2 hours or plenty!

[@cosmicnhilist]

@@WanderlustWellman thank you 🙏

[@WITYTRAVELS]

Don't trip in Japan! That's a lot of arms! Wow, no nails? Nice wish! Mr. Wellman you are so wise and mature in real time! Beautiful Temple!

[@WanderlustWellman]

Thanks guys, and yes I recommend that you take a trip to Japan but do not trip!!!

Shimogamo Shrine is so much better and so much more culturally important .. strangely enough, you don't see any foreign tourists there .... just like Rokkaku-Do ....

[@WanderlustWellman]

Looks beautiful! Kiyomizudera is still an excellent place, but it's definitely still not off the beaten path

[@towada1066]

@@WanderlustWellman Shimogamo Shrine is associated with Kamo-no-Chomei, the author of Hojoki,.... it's a BIG deal in classical Japanese literature. I always wonder, if you're not Buddhist or Shinto, what are these places to you? ...

[@WanderlustWellman]

Good to know! For most people that visit these temples/shrines who aren't Buddhist or Shinto, they don't usually see them in their home countries (mainly applies to Westerners). So they are undoubtedly just a beautiful and new sight to see. It's also cool culturally to see the different customs at these shrines that people partake in (bowing, praying, ringing the bell, cleaning the mouth and hands with water, etc). And if you do end up visiting a temple/shrine that is not filled with people, there is a very peaceful feeling that makes me feel at ease with myself - one could almost call it a spiritual experience!

[@towada1066]

@@WanderlustWellman hmmm,... it is just strange to me .... this is not mandatory now but, in the past, each temple had a system of each family paying money,... when Bakufu ended so many Buddhist things were destroyed ... if you visit Nokogiriyama you can still see the damage ...

[@IsIamic]

Can you start at yasaka pagoda and end at kyomizudera?
