# Kiyomizu-dera Temple

The wooden stage can absorb a child for ages: how does it stand without a single nail? Then comes Tainai-meguri at Zuigu-do Hall (100 yen), a pitch-dark underground walk along a rope of prayer beads. It is scary, but one family's kids came out laughing; it was the part they most wanted to repeat. At the Otowa Waterfall, kids love ladling from one of three streams; a small garden also has koi and turtles. That makes three things kids can do, not just see, best before the crowds arrive.
