Coming in from JR Ueno Station, there are signs that will direct you to the temple. But keep a careful eye on them, as they may not be clear at times. (Photo: Sher Ying Wee)

Kiyomizu Kannon-do

A quiet Buddhist temple in Ueno Park

On a bright May weekday afternoon in a quiet corner of Ueno Park, the peace at Kiyomizu Kannon-do (Kiyomizu Kannon Temple) was uninterrupted despite the steady stream of visitors to the temple. Kiyomizu Kannon-do in Ueno was built in the image of Kiyomizu-dera in Kyoto on a smaller scale. This temple is now recognized as a national treasure and one of the oldest surviving temples in Tokyo. It's worth a visit if you’re in the park and want to avoid the crowds for a while.

I like taking photographs on travels, but am oddly not good at the traveling bit itself. Please enjoy and view the photos as if it were you with your camera on your own travels.
