It is a representative tourist destination of Kyoto. Boasting a history of about 1200 years, this temple is recognized as a World Heritage Site. Within the precincts, you will find the main hall, which is the origin of the phrase 'to jump off the stage at Kiyomizu,' as well as national treasures and important cultural properties like the Three-storied Pagoda. Other attractions include the Otowa Waterfall, believed to bring good fortune in love, and Zuigudo Hall, famous for its Tainai Meguri (a spiritual journey through the womb).
