Kiyomizu-dera Temple, also known as the "Pure Water Temple," is a famous and picturesque temple in Kyoto, Japan. Built in 780, it features a stunning wooden stage that offers panoramic views of cherry and maple trees during spring and fall. Visitors can drink from the Otowa Waterfall's three streams for health, success, and love. Don't miss the Jishu Shrine for matchmaking luck and the Koyasu Pagoda for safe childbirth wishes. The temple is surrounded by charming shops and restaurants in the historic Higashiyama District, making it a must-visit destination for those exploring Kyoto.
