Fountains of Kiyomizudera

Here’s a travel tip I can share to single (and searching) guys out there. If you find yourself in Japan, head down to Kiyomizudera in Kyoto for a visit.

Back in May of 2003, I was a first-time visitor in Kyoto. I would say my love story with my Wifey started in a temple in Kyoto called the Kiyomizudera. During the tour in Kiyomizudera, we were told that drinking from all the fountains inside the temple would bring luck in love. Me and my good friend, Garando, drank in all the waterwells and fountains we could find inside the temple. Maybe even from the ones we were not supposed to drink from. The next day, I got sick. But, amazingly, a man in love within the next few months.

We are married now and so is Garando with his girlfriend he met after arriving from Kyoto. 

Yes, we are believers in the powers of the Kiyomizudera fountains!

    Just wanted to add: that fountain in Kiyomizudera must be some really potent stuff! I merely took a sip and look where it got me!
    If I took a few gulps I might have ended up with a handful wives! tsk tsk…

    Take it in moderation people.
