If it is Autumn, definitely pay the ticket and go into Kiyomizudera temple. The view opposite, overlooking the main wooden stage, with a sea of red maple leaves. It was stunning especially during sunset. My friends got tired after all the walking. Choose to wait outside and not go in. Big regrets after I showed them the videos and photos I took.
