Otowa-no-taki, Kiyomizu Dera
Posted by Daryl Johnson (Farnham, United Kingdom) on 5 November 2008 in Lifestyle & Culture.
Visitors drinking from the three streams of the Otowa waterfall, underneath the main hall of Kiyomizu Dera. The streams are supposed to confer wisdom, health, and longevity.
Although I'm now in England, this blog will still feature photos from Japan for the foreseeable future.
I apologise in advance if I'm tardy with commenting on your blogs or returning comments during the week... I will get to you though!

@Observing: Cheers Mike! I haven't drunk from there, no... the line was too long. They need an extra stream for 'patience'.
