(Picture of the main pavillion from the www -- none of my pix were that clear).I took a wrong turn and approached Kiyomizudera through a vast cemetary, rather than through the steep cobbled street lined with snack & souvenir shops that most people took. The grounds were full of "families"of weathered stones, each with its bright bib.
Drinking water from the springs is supposed to bring health, longevity, academic success. (I didn't). I did take off my shoes & descend into a (pitch dark) cave where you follow a chain of wooden beads until you come to an ancient stone (lit from above), with the Sanskrit rune for "heart".
