1) 清水の舞台から飛び降りる🪂
Let's start with the most famous.
"To jump off the stage at Kiyomizu-dera" is similar to the English expression "Taking the plunge"...committing oneself despite a risk of failure.

Astonishingly, the temple recorded 234 attempts! Although the stage is 13m high, the survival rate amongst jumpers was a good 85% (landings cushioned by bushes and the gradient of the hillside). Jumping is now prohibited, so please don't try😉 #Kiyomizudera #清水寺 #Kyoto #Japan
