Introduction to Kiyomizu-dera temple

Kiyomizu-dera Temple was founded in 778. There are over 30 buildings within the temple grounds, including national treasures and important cultural properties. It is also registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The most popular attraction at Kiyomizu-dera Temple is the stage in front of the main hall. It is built on a cliff and is 13 metres (42.65 feet) high.

The autumn leaves were very beautiful.

It was just very crowded.

Kiyomizu-dera Temple opens at 6am. It’s usually quiet at this time.

Three waterfalls with divine blessings

There is Otowa Waterfall within the precincts. This water is free to drink. Looking at it from the front, the right one is said to grant good fortune in “longevity,” the middle one in “success in love,” and the left one in “academic success.”
