Om denna plats: Kring Kiyomizu-dera
Gränderna runt Kiyomizu-dera — Ninenzaka, Sannenzaka och Kiyomizuzaka — är kullerstensgator med traditionella stadshus, utsedda till Viktigt Bevarandedistrikt. Utsikten med Yasaka-pagoden (Hokan-ji) i bakgrunden är en klassisk Kyoto-komposition. Bäst vid gryning.
Höjdpunkter
- Sannenzaka — a stone-stepped slope laid out in the 1740s; framing the Yasaka Pagoda over Edo-era streetscapes makes a classic shot, with cherry blossoms or autumn colors as borrowed scenery
- Ninenzaka — a gentler slope above Sannenzaka, with Meiji-era machiya, stone paving, and atmospheric lantern light at dusk
- Yasaka Pagoda (Hokan-ji) — the 46 m five-story tower; looking up from below on Yasaka-dori is the iconic worldwide composition
- Nene-no-Michi — a stone-paved path leading to Kodai-ji, named for Nene (wife of Toyotomi Hideyoshi), popular for kimono dressing experiences
- Kiyomizuzaka — the main approach to Kiyomizu-dera, with souvenir shops and Kyoto-style atmosphere; photograph after the evening crowds disperse
