Readers’ Corner: It Happened at Kiyomizu Temple

This story happened when I visited Kiyomizu Temple in Kyoto. When I got to the Otowa Waterfall, there was a line of people waiting. There are three waterfalls, but people go one at a time. I thought it would be okay for three people to go together since there were three waterfalls. I suggested this to a foreign woman in front of me, but she told me that each waterfall had a different benefit, so people should go one at a time. It’s funny that a foreigner told me about a Japanese custom that I, a Japanese person, didn’t know. This kind of thing happens sometimes. People tend to be indifferent to their own culture whereas foreigners are keen on learning about foreign cultures.   (124 words) You can send me a comment or your own story at jaremaga@gmail.com
