    This large spectacular temple is quite impressive. But don't be surprise to see herds of japanese tourists. But, isn't discovering Japan and japanese a goal of your trip ?

    The Kiyomizu-dera Temple is one of the oldest temples in Kyoto and a must see on any visit to this beautiful Japanese city.

    The name of this temple means "Pure Water Temple", and the temple itself was founded in the year 780. The temple is surrounded by a large terrace, which offers beautiful views of the Kyoto landscape. Below the terrace, you can taste the spring water which gave the temple its name and which is said to have healing power.

    This thousand year old temple has multiple buildings to visit and lots of nice walking path around it.

    The must see in the temple are:
    1) The Status of Kannon which is a famous icon;
    2) The sacred spring (Seems like everyone stops there!)
    3) The walk on the front of the temple which offer an awesome view of the surrounding mountains and the city.

    See my travelogue for a walk through the temple area

    The Kiyomizu-Dera Temple can be very crowded and most of the visitors are japanese devotees who spend some time praying at the many altars inside the main buildings. The atmosphere is anyway always quiet and respectful.

    The hills around Kiyomizu-Dera Temple are very lush. The trees have all a different shade of green and it is amazing to see all the temples and shrines amidst this vegetation.

  • According to legend, Priest Enchin built his hermitage and a small chapel here in 778 A.D. With support from General Sakanoue no Tamuramaro, the Temple was erected in 798.
    Many of the present buildings were reconstructed between 1631 and 1633 by order of Shogun Iemitsu Tokugawa.

    Many small gift shops and restaurants line both sides of the long, steep street leading up to Kiyomizu Dera (temple). If you like exploring gift shops for reasonably priced items, like colorful Japanese fans, you may be a long time getting to the top of the hill.
    Kiyomizu Dera was built on the side of a cliff--the famous stage juts out high above the lower area of temple grounds. Some Nihonjin use a powerful oath when plagued by a highly frustrating problem: 'Kiyomizu no butai kara tobioriru!'=It is like jumping off Kiyomizu Stage. Look down from the stage railing to see why this cry of anguish is very appropriate. The view of Kyoto and surrounding countryside is great also.

    Founded in 778 and built starting 798 on the side of Otowa Hill. The temple includes some 30 structures, most of which were rebuilt in 1633 by Tokugawa Iemitsu, the 3rd shogun. The Main Hall (National Treasure) with its wooden balcony is a beautiful work of architecture in the Heian period style, with a single-ridge roof sloping in four directions and cypress-bark roofing. It contains an image of the Eleven-headed Kannon (Important Cultural Property). Otowa Waterfall is visible below the balcony. Koyasu-no-To (Important Cultural Property), a 3-storied pagoda built as a petition for easy childbirth, can be seen across the valley. In December 1994, Kiyomizudera Temple became part of the World Cultural Heritage.
