Shisendo is a Buddhist temple of the Zen sect in Sakyo-ku, Kyoto. Shisendo Temple was the mountain
hermitage built as a retreat in 1641 by Ishikawa Jozan (then aged 59), who had served the general
Tokugawa Ieyasu, founder of the Edo shogunate. Jozan retired from service as a warrior at the young
age of 33 and began to study Zen Buddhism and the Cheng-Zhu school of Neo-Confucianism, opening
up a new world of calligraphy, Chinese poetry, and the sencha tradition of steeped tea; he became a
refined man of culture who also devoted himself to gardening, pouring his genius into Shisen-do Temple
until his death at the age of 90.

Kiyomizudera , officially Otowasan Kiyomizudera is an independent Buddhist temple in eastern Kyoto. The
temple is part of the Historic Monuments of Ancient Kyoto (Kyoto, Uji and Otsu Cities) .It is also UNESCO World
Heritage site. The main hall has a large veranda, supported by tall pillars; that jut out over the hillside and offer
impressive views over the city. Verandas were constructed at many popular sites during the Edo period to
accommodate considerable numbers of pilgrims.

The popular expression "to jump off from the stage at Kiyomizu" is the Japanese equivalent of English expression
"to take the plunge. " This refers to an Edo-period tradition that held that if one were to survive a 13-meter jump
from the stage, one's wished would be granted. During the Edo period, 234 jumps were recorded, and of those,
85.4% were survived. The practice is now prohibited. Beneath the hall is the Otowa waterfall, where three
channels of water fall into a pond. Visitors can catch and drink the water, which is believed to have wish-granting
powers.

Gion is a district of Kyoto, originally developed in the Middle Ages, in front of Yasaka Shrine(Gion Shrine).
The district was built to accommodate the needs of travelers and visitors to the shrine. It eventually evolved
to become one of the most exclusive and well-known geisha districts in all of Japan. The geisha in Kyoto does
not refer to themselves as the geisha; instead, they use the local term 'geiko.' While the term geisha means
'artist' or 'person of the arts,' the more direct term geiko means essentially 'a woman of art.'
