Kiyomizudera Temple: BEYOND PEAK
December 7, 2016
From Arashiyama, I made my way to eastern Kyoto to the extremely popular Kiyomizudera Temple. The temple is currently almost free from of construction sites but parts of the main hall will be covered up for renovation works in the coming year. I found the autumn color season here to be beyond peak, with the trees sporting bald tops. There are still enough leaves on the lower branches to make for a pretty koyo viewing and I expect them to last through the coming weekend and not much longer after that.
