[Japan] 京都，東山區，清水寺 (Kiyomizu-dera)

在我的認知中，來到京都一定會去的三座寺廟是：金閣寺，銀閣寺和清水寺。
The Kiyomizu-dera, for me, is one of the top 3 temples, Kinkaku-ji, Ginkaku-ji and Kiyomizu-dera, in Kyoto. 

離開了伏見稻荷大社，搭乘京阪本線到清水五條站下車，依照指示約走個20分鐘即可抵達清水寺。
Leaving Fushimi Inari-taisha, I took the Keihan Main Line from Fushimi Inari to Kiyomizu-Gojō Station and followed the signs to Kiyomizu-dera. It takes about 20 minutes by walk.

仁王門，好乾淨的紅色，好美，不知如果搭配上藍天是否更美！ 
The Nio Mon, it looks so red and clean. It's so beautiful. If there is blue sky, it should be more beautiful.

三重塔，與楓紅互相爭輝。 

The Pagoda with maples.

  

  

  

本堂，也是清水寺擁有最高曝光率的建築，以及拍照角度，在楓紅的輝映下，有種很沈穩，寧靜的感覺，只可惜，拍攝上述照片的步道正在修整中，並不是那麼容易可以靜下來拍照，還有時會被工地設施破壞了畫面，不過，過兩天才從家人處得知，明年起，清水寺本堂要整修三年，我算是運氣好的！
The Hondo, the main hall. The track where I took above photos is still under construction. It's so crowded and not easy to take photos. It's still so beautiful.

音羽瀑布，只是看到有不少人在排隊，所以就拍了幾張照片，回台灣後上官網查資料才發現應該要來許個願，呵～
The Otowa no taki, the Otowa Waterfall. The visitors catch each of the three streams of pure water with ladles and pray for purification of their six senses and to make their wishes come true. You can easily tell there is a line for catching the water.

以下則是此行幾個清水寺的有趣角落：
Below are different corners in the Kiyomizu-dera:

發現了一條很少人走的小徑，正好前面三位和服美女，真有種走入時光隧道的感覺，只是小姐手上拿著手機拍照，又喚醒了2016年的時光，真的是「舊時光，新科技」呀～
A track with mush less visitors. People can take an easy walk. The lady weared kimono is taking photos with her phone. Maybe I should name it, Old days, New technology. 

清水寺裡的茶屋，也位在一個很美的角落。 
A nice place to have some desserts with the red maples.

在寺廟裡求取的籤詩，不小心總是會遇到凶兆，人們便把凶兆籤詩綁在這兒，象徵著壞兆頭不會來，沒想到我拍照時正好有人在綁籤詩，不如，就把這張照片命名為「凶，滾」！
When people ask for a sign for something that make them worry and get a bad sign. People will tight the sign at somewhere at the temple means the bad thing/sign go away. So, maybe I should name it Go away bad things.
