There are literally thousands of Shinto shines and Buddhist temples in Kyoto and I was lucky enough to visit 2 of the most prominent ones: Kodai-Ji Temple and Kiyomizu Temple.
Kodai-ji Temple was established in 1606 by Nene (also known as Kita-no-Mandokoro) in memory of her late husband, Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
Kiyomizu Temple was constructed in 1633. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and considered a national treasure. Incredible but true, there isn't a single nail built into the entire structure. It's named after the waterfall within the complex. Kiyomizu is literally translated to clear water.
I patted the statue multiple times but unfortunately my dreams didn't come true.
