There's a saying that if you jump from the platform at Kiyomizu-dera and survive, your wish will be granted.

This photo should be giving you an idea as to why I'd consider it a bad idea. Even though the 234 jumps that are on record had 200 jumpers surviving, from what I've heard. I found nothing on what state they were in afterwards, however. And it's prohibited nowadays anyway.

View from the main buildings of the Kiyomizu-dera towards the small pagoda on the other, southern side of a small vale.

View down from beneath the pagoda. Right beneath the gate, you can see the start of the line of shops, branching off into two roads further down. Behind the first few shops, the Yasaka pagoda of the Hōkan-ji is visible.
In the background the view in north-western direction over the centre of Kyoto. The Imperial Palace Gardens can just be made out underneath the gate roof.

The pagoda of Kiyomizu-dera. Main pagoda that is. There's a smaller one you can see on a later picture.

Our last stop: Kiyomizu-dera in the south-east of the town. Visible here are two gates and the main pagoda.

While the other two temples had a few shops nearby, the Kiyomizu-dera has got two roads fully lined with small shops leading up to it. We were surprised to find a well-stocked store for Ghibli merchandise of all sorts among them.

An advantage of our choice of season to visit were the leafs starting to switch colours. Which can lead to views like this with the brown of the bark, the light green of the moss on ground and trees, the white of the magnolia blossoms. And the various greens, yellows and reds of the different leaves.

A view over the pond onto the Silver Pavillon. It catches the atmosphere of the place very well, in my opinion.

View down from one of the topmost publicly accessible places in the gardens down onto the temple area. In the centre, the Ginkaku with the phoenix on top. On its right side a small shintoistic shrine and on the right edge of the picture the main entrance onto the temple area.
Behind the temple area a smaller eastern district of Kyoto in a side valley. Cut off from the rest of the town by the small hill in the background.

A smaller side path in the Ginkaku-ji gardens, a bit further back on the hillslope.

The gardens where they start to cross over into the hillside. With a small creek and the heavily moss covered ground. Just one of many magical views in the gardens.
