Over
Korte feiten: Three ancient camphor trees shade the courtyards, one of them over 300 years old and stretching 20 meters wide. A natural spring still flows beside the shrine, giving the temple its name which means "clear water."
Hoogtepunten: Every April, thousands of fireflies flicker through the surrounding forest paths, turning the hillside into a living constellation. The temple's resident calligraphy master gives free lessons on weekends, letting visitors paint their own wishes on wooden plaques to hang by the spring.
Insidertips
- Arrive by 4:30 PM to watch golden sunlight filter through the camphor canopy before the temple closes at 5:00 PM.
- The best photo spot is the moon gate on the eastern path, where the old banyan frames the temple roof tiles.
- Skip the main hall during weekend mornings when tour buses arrive; the back courtyards and spring area stay peaceful.
- Bring insect repellent for the firefly season, and use a red filter on your flashlight to avoid disturbing the insects.
