We ended the day by tackling our biggest crowd challenge to date, as you can see from the lovely road leading up to the entrance of Kiyomizu-dera. Amazingly, this narrow street choked with temple visitors and lined with shops selling the previously dissed sweets, souvenirs and temple offerings, is also a real road with traffic on it, so the whole thing will just explode one day. But it's quite a party on the way up, as well as at the temple, as every visitor seems to be a teenager.
