Day 2 is when the trip starts for real. Our goal for this day is to visit a bunch of landmarks, and since it was my first time going to Kyoto, I unfortunately picked a bunch of tourist-y spots.

We started by squeezing onto a bus to get to Kiyomizu-dera (清水寺). Interestingly, in Kyoto, passengers are supposed to board from the back door and alight from the front door.

After a somewhat long trek up a slope, filled with cars and tourists, we made it to the temple grounds proper. We paid for a ticket to get to the main building, but it wasn't until we left that I realised the main building was the elevated one that you always see in photos lol
