What to expect

Kiyomizu-dera Temple, established in 778, is Kyoto’s oldest temple and a revered cultural site. Set on Mount Otowa, it features a renowned wooden stage extending from the main hall, offering panoramic views over cherry and maple trees, which change with the seasons. The temple’s name, meaning "Pure Water Temple," comes from the Otowa Waterfall below, where visitors drink from streams believed to bring blessings for success, love, or longevity. Within the complex is the Jishu Shrine, dedicated to love and matchmaking, featuring two "love stones" that visitors try to walk between with eyes closed to find love. Reconstructed in 1633, Kiyomizu-dera is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and has survived natural disasters for centuries. Its Edo period architecture and peaceful surroundings make it a favorite for millions who come to appreciate its beauty and spiritual significance. Admission is 400 yen for adults and 200 yen for students.
