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.

Down in the courtyard you will usually see a lot of people queuing for Otowa-no-taki. A waterfall where you can drink for health, longevity and wisdom. However, not all three should drink as misfortune brings and stands for greed.
By the way: The temple and wooden terrace directly on the slope were built without a nail and so it still holds today. He was also a finalist for the 7 new wonders of the world.
