In reality, throughout the temple's history it has been up to the individual to make a wish when drinking the water (regardless of what stream it is collected from)🙏
And now a warning.
Drink all 3 and no wish will come true. Instead, misfortune will certainly visit you💀😱

Otowa's waters are known variously as Konjiki-sui (金色水 'golden water'), Enmei-sui (延命水 'life-prolonging water') and Hachikudoku-sui (八功徳水 'water of the 8 virtuous deeds'). Since Heian times people have believed that the waters will remove any bad karma. #folklore #Kyoto
