walking to some Kyoto temples - the hilly Kiyomizu-dera vicinity

This video shows one segment of the steady stream of afternoon visitors to some of the Buddhist temples along the west-facing slope of Higashi-yama, not far from Kyoto's main rail station.

On the horizon is Kodai-ji, with Kiyomizu-dera to the right of the frame and some distance behind the camcorder. At the very end of the clip someone dressed in kimono comes into view. With the fine fall weather every now and then somebody in the colorful traditional clothing could be seen on this day. A shop along a busy road was renting the kimono, perhaps mainly for the foreign visitors to pose for pictures and to have a short experience of walking this way.
