Kiyomizu-dera Temple – A Guide To Kyoto’s Grandest Temple

Kiyomizu-dera Temple is Kyoto’s most popular and famous temple and is located in the Higashiyama area of eastern Kyoto. A walk through Higashiyama will bring you past more temples than you can count, but none is quite as spectacular as the grand Kiyomizu-dera temple.

Leading up to Kiyomizudera Temple is Ninenzaka and Sannenzaka street, lined with beautiful old traditional wooden houses, shops, and cafes. These streets are an excellent place to do some souvenir and gifts shopping, as well as grab a snack and something to drink.

A vast area of forest surrounds the temple, containing lots of cherry trees and maple trees, which makes this a fantastic place to see cherry blossoms in March/ April and autumn leaves in November.

Kiyomizudera Temple is one of seventeen temples and buildings in Kyoto which are part of the Historic Monuments of Ancient Kyoto by the UNESCO World Heritage site. Along with other famous landmarks in Kyoto such as Nijo Castle.
