Day 4- Kyoto/ Osaka

Took bus 202 to Kiyomizu stop from Tokufuji (approx 15mins). 
Bought a day bus pass for 500yen and only use it 2 time, so not really worth it unless use it for more than 3 times. After the stop, walk about 10mins upslope to the Temple.
Unfortunately few halls were under renovation. Nothing much to see and quickly move onto the next destination. After exit the temple, there is an alley on the right which lead to Yasaka shrine. Along the way there are many shops to look at too. I find Yasaka Shrine is more interesting than Kiyomizudera, but that's only my preference.
 Maiko or Tourist?
