The second day of #Kyoto - walking up past the #Yasaka pagoda up to the #Kiyomizu Temple at the mountain side. Both are incredibly impressive and terribly crowded.

Behind it there are green, tree-covered hills.An old building overgrown with plantsThe Kiyomizu Temple of Kyoto, view from the side as it reaches out from the hill slope amidst treesA three level red pagoda shown from below, teaching up above trees growing in front of it.

Some theorize that the Yasaka clan, an immigrant family from the mainland known for their skill in horse breeding, founded Hōkan-ji (法観寺) as a worship site in 588.
In 657 this same family would establish Kanshin-in (感神院), forerunner of Yasaka-jinja.
