Kiyomizu-dera Temple, Kyoto Japan.
This is a bit old photo from my library when this temple was covered with snow. It was stunningly beautiful.
This Buddhism temple has so many ancient staircases that it restricts some parts on a snowy day because of the safety concerns. Please stay safe.
This Kiyomizu-dera is 1 of the most popular spots in Kyoto, which is full of people all time. But it was much less crowded on this day because trains were suspended due to the heavy snow. Probably snowy day is a good chance.
Also, the business hour of this popular temple is 6:00 a.m. - 18:00 p.m. or 18:30 p.m. in June and July. When we visit there at 6 a.m., it’s not as crowded as daytime.
Early morning walk is nice and useful in Kyoto.
