KIYOMIZU
Kiyomizu which is a most magnificent temple in Kiyoto was founded by Tamuramaro for the faith of the Daihi when Kanmu established the capital.
It stands on a great framework called Butai.
The roads on the hill are very good and paved very conveniently for going up to it.
The Hondo, or the structure in which the cheif idole reposes, is large and splendid.
And it is still one of the idoles which are most worshiped by the people of Kiyoto.
Therefore there is no day where this place is not visited at least one or two hundreds men or women, especially women.
The view from here, may I think be called the finest view in Kiyoto, for the whole town can be seen there.
It is about 20 Chios from Sanjio.
