"Kyoto's famous otearai"

Last weekend I went to Kyoto for sightseeing. It was amazing to see how many beautiful temples there are located. Of course I wanted to visit the famous Kiyomizu temple. The Kiyomizu temple is a part of the historic monument of the ancient Kyoto. I didn't know the right direction so I asked a man like "Sumimasen, Kiyomizu OTEARAI wa doko desu ka?" He looked confused and showed me the way to the next toilet in the temple area. "Hai, otearai desu", he answered. Oh no, I confused the words otearai (toilet) with otera ( temple). How embarrassing^o^!!!!!!!

  1. Good post ! Especially because it's a common mistake due to the resemblance between the two words.
