What To Expect

Kiyomizu-dera Temple

Kiyomizu-dera ("Pure Water Temple") is an iconic, UNESCO World Heritage Buddhist temple in the Higashiyama area of eastern Kyoto, renowned for its large wooden stage and panoramic city views. Jutting out 13 meters above the hillside, the famous main hall stage was built without the use of a single nail. It offers a breathtaking, panoramic view of Kyoto city and the surrounding natural beauty. Located beneath the main hall, visitors can drink from three streams of pure water, each believed to grant a different benefit: longevity, success, or a fortunate love life. Jishu Shrine: Situated within the temple grounds, this shrine is dedicated to the deity of matchmaking. Visitors can try the "love stone" challenge: successfully walking between two stones with their eyes closed is thought to bring luck in love. The walk up to the temple is an experience in itself, with the narrow, preserved streets of Ninenzaka and Sannenzaka lined with traditional shops selling souvenirs.

Third floor: Chinese Zen style. A golden phoenix statue adorns the roof.
