Visit temples to ring the bell for the new year's

Are you spending new year's in Kyoto?
To ring the bell in the temple at the end of a year is a popular custom in Japan.
Our recommendation, is the bell at "Chion in temple". There is one of the 3 biggest bell in Japan. 17 monks will ring the bell for the new years eve. very interesting sight.
