Japan Morning Walk [4K] Kyoto Temples down to City

After waking up very early on this summer morning in Kyoto, I walked up from Kyoto city centre to Kiyomizu-Dera temple, before the crowds arrived. After a short rest to charge the camera, I then walked back down to the city centre, visiting some of the temples in Kyoto. It was interesting to notice how many more people there were already when I was walking down than when I was going up a little earlier. So here's a piece of advice, if you're ever in Kyoto, make sure you wake up very early to go visit the temples and Gion before the crowds arrive around 8am.
