清水寺のお守り A Charm from Kiyomizu Temple

これは私の最初の京都で買ったお守り。どうして清水寺のお守りのでサインは桜か分からないけど．．．私は夏京都で漁していたから、あじさいをよく覚える。実は、清水寺は私の好きな観光サイトだが、これは好きじゃないお守りだ。清水でお守りのチョイスがないわけである。

This is the first omamori I purchased in Kyoto. I don't know why the design is cherry blossoms, because I remember the huge hydrangea at Kiyomizu. But I had been there in the summer, so maybe that's why I remember the hydrangea more. Despite this being one of my favorite locations in Kyoto, this is actually one of my least favorite charms. There isn't much selection at Kiyomizu.

清水寺は７９８年に設立され、今の建物は１６３３年に建てられた。清水寺は飲める水が流れ落ちているので有名。さらに京都のきれいな風景も有名。

Kiyomizu temple was founded in 798, and the current structures were built in 1633. Kiyomizu is famous for its drinkable spring and waterfall, as well as its beautiful view of Kyoto.
