Kiyomizudera Temple is a landmark attraction in Kyoto, with an endless stream of visitors. The spiritual spring “Otowa no Taki” originating from Mount Otowa also attracts a large number of tourists to make pilgrimages. However, recently some people complained that they saw Taiwanese elders’ tour group queuing up to fill water bottles with plastic bottles, resulting in a long queue at the back, and even being scolded by foreign tourists, sparking heated discussions. A Japanese travel expert came forward to explain that you can actually use a plastic bottle to draw water, but you have to pay attention to the time and crowds.
Facebook fan page “Japanese Shrine Temple Addict” An article published yesterday (11th) pointed out that the official blog of Kiyomizu Temple clearly stated in 2011 that “it is agreed that everyone should bring their own plastic bottles and go to Otowa no Taki to draw water for safety.” Therefore, it is absolutely possible to use plastic bottles for water. The problem lies in the time when tourists fill the bottles with water. Although Japanese locals also go there to fill the bottles, they only go there in the morning when there are fewer people.
A victim of poisoning at Japanese shrines and temples mentioned, “There are very few pilgrims in the morning, so no one cares how much they want to put under the waterfall. I have even seen Japanese mothers-in-law rushing to fetch water with big plastic buckets as soon as the gate opens at six o’clock.” , but with the influx of people and the spread of the queue, if tourists bring bottles to serve, it will undoubtedly prolong everyone’s waiting time and only increase dissatisfaction and resentment.
He reminded that Kiyomizu Temple has absolutely no objection to everyone using plastic bottles to fill water, but it is recommended to fill it in the morning when there are fewer people. Just wait in the queue”, calling on everyone to work together to maintain good tourism quality when visiting temples. If tourists really want to bring a few bottles of spring water, they can also buy the “Yinyu Spiritual Water” directly from the temple, saving the time and frustration of queuing.
Japanese travel expert Lin Shibi is also on the Facebook fan page “Japanese self-guided tour poisoner“The post stated that in Japan, one must adhere to the principle of “not causing trouble to others” so as not to be rude. “There is no problem with filling water, but people come to fill it early in the morning when there are no tourists. In When there is a long queue at the back, if a group of group guests each have to fill their own PET bottles, it will cause trouble for everyone.”
