Mt. Otowa Kiyomizu-dera Temple
Opened in the year 778, the temple was registered as a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site in 1994. In the 130, 000 m2 area of the precincts spread out on the hillside of Mt. Otowa, there are more than 30 cathedrals and monuments, including national treasures and important cultural properties.
The view from the stage is super open and wide—on a clear day, every shot looks great.
The old streets around it are really fun to wander, but the crowds are no joke. If you want photos without people, be prepared.
Still, it’s absolutely worth visiting at least once.
