Kiomizu-Dera Temple

From there we walked around the streets of Eastern Gion some more. Like yesterday, it felt good to walk around in this traditional neighborhood that had a lot of nice little stores, and little shops.

We happened upon a temple, Kiomizu-Dera, where they were shooting a picture of what might have been some graduating class of students, and they were using the pagoda at the site as a backdrop. It so happens that the backdrop also appealed to me, so I stuck around and took some pictures too. Just like the other temples and shrines we had been to, this one had a lot of smaller little temples and shrines on the grounds. I think that what made this one stick out a little bit more for me was the pagaoda that was the centerpiece of the temple grounds.
