Kiyomizu-dera; A Buddhist Temple

There are many temples in Japan, and there are also many Buddhist temples. One of the Buddhist Temples is called The Kiyomizu-dera.

The Kiyomizu-dera Buddhist temple is located in Eastern Kyoto and can be traced back as far as the year 798. An indoor waterfall fed from the outside river keeps the temple in harmony with nature and not one nail was used in construction. While locals used to jump off the edge to have a wish granted, modern visitors can enjoy the shrines and talismans and artwork on display without risking life and limb. It will be a real time of fun!

Visit Japans tallest mountain/ volcano with the towering height of 3776 metres. This is a special place of pilgrimage in Japan. People worship Mount Fuji because it has been in Japan for over 100,000 years. Many try to climb it in their lifetime, however they have failed and therefore they have made small models called Mound Fuji. This is also another way to worship the mountain. You can see the tip of Mount Fuji from the far end of Japan due to the sheer size of it. A famous artist named Hokusai has painted a collection of pictures of Mount Fuji.
