    Hiking

    Also from this temple you have a nice view over Kyoto, without having to climb too many steps. However, there is always a lot going on here, even in the evening. However, he is really lighted at night and a real eye-catcher.

    Nio-mon is the main entrance to the Kiyomizudera. It was burnt down during a civil war (1467-1477) and rebuilt in the early 16th century. In 2003, the gate was completely disassembled and renovated.

    Hiking

    Here at the Sai-mon Gate, you can position yourself in a good spot in the evening, when the sun sets in the west and bathes the temple in a magical red.
