Kyoto Day Tour: Kiyomizu-dera
Kiyomizudera or the Pure Water Temple is one of the famous temple in Japan and obviously a well visited tourist attraction when in Kyoto. It is also one of the many UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Japan. From the main road, we had a long walk going to the main temple but never got tired because of the beautiful scenes around.

Anyway, to disable this Instant Upload feature, here’s a video on how to do it:
If you have Google+ App installed on your Android phone, please check the settings to make sure you’re safe.
