Suzumushidera
鈴虫寺 (華厳寺)
4.4Est. 90Kyoto, Kansai
You hear the bell crickets before you see their enclosures inside the hall. All visits begin with a Buddhist sermon delivered with a humor that lands even without Japanese. A separate Jizo statue, believed to grant one wish per visitor, is the source of any queues.
Local tips
Remove shoes before entering any hall. Look for a shoe rack at the entrance. Carry a plastic bag for your shoes if none is provided.
