Kiyomizu-dera Temple in Shizuoka

Not the one in Kyoto, but still nice!

It may not be as well known as its namesake in Kyoto, but the temple in Shizuoka called Kiyomizu-dera is no less worth a visit. Set in thick forest in Kiyomizuyama Park about twenty minutes' walk from Shizuoka station, it's a peaceful, atmospheric place to escape the bustle of the city. There are scores of ancient, weathered Buddhist statues, and under the eaves of he main hall there's a colourful dragon, waiting to swoop down on you.
