Summary

[edit]
Description

There is no shortage of temples and shrines in Kyoto. But, one of the most visited temples is the hilltop complex of Kiyomizu-dera or “Pure Water Temple”. Located on the halfway point of eastern Kyoto’s Otowa Mountain, it is rich in history, beauty and architecture.

The temple was named after the Otowa Waterfall’s pure waters that came from the mountain spring. It was believed that Enchin, a buddhist priest from the city of Nara, stumbled upon this forest with a waterfall at Mt. Otowa’s base after having a vision to “Look for the clear water origin of the Yodo river”
