...leaving Kiyomizudera. There is a back entrance/entry past the second (and smaller) multi-tiered pagoda (tower). Go through the open gate in a fence which lists some opening and closing hours and then off to the right you will see a cemetary. Walk through the cemetery to main and take a right down the hill. You'll soon see much (much) more graves and a large building complex at the bottom of the hill. There will be an entrance to the right where you can enter the temple complex. Otani Hombyo is the mausoleum of Shinran Shonin, the founder of the Jodo Shinshu Buddhist sect. The complex itself is known as Hongawanji, the headquarters of Jodo Shinshu. One of the plaques I read said that adherents of Jodo Shinshu can be buried close to Shinran if they desire, and that is the reason there are so many graves there. It is a very beautiful place with evidently a cobblestone bridge I seemed to have missed. It is a nice, peaceful diversion from crowded Kiyomizudera.
