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.
One of the most famous temples in Kyoto. Standing on the Kiyomizu Stage, you get a great view of the city. The stage is built with 139 solid wooden pillars and not a single nail—such impressive craftsmanship has been perfectly preserved.
