The lights at night were extremely beautiful. However, if you go during the busy season, be aware that there are tremendous crowds. In particular, I recommend that you go through the most famous angle photo spot, taking pictures quickly through the open loopholes rather than waiting until the very front of the building.

The JR pass has allowed us to visit so many wonderful places and this is no exception. Just a great place to walk around and admire the architecture of the shrine and nature. Lots of cool souvenir shops close by as well. So it’s a great attraction spot. The temple itself was under construction so we couldn’t see everything. Still had an enjoyable experience with the family.

Despite all the crowds (and as I understand it is a low season) it is a must to visit in Kyoto. It offers some iconic views of the city combined with oriental architectural structures. And it also gives you a chance to explore spiritual side of the temple.

Gorgeous temple and piece of Japanese history. I tried to get there for sunset but unfortunately there wasn't much of a view in the sky. Despite that, it was still a beautiful visit and I was grateful to have seen it. There's also these mini waterfall streams that you can drink from, each giving you some kind of benefit or blessing, but if you drink from more than one, you'll get bad luck! So don't be selfish :)

Awe inspiring wooden architecture and wonderful views of the forest, mountains, and Kyoto city. It is easily accessible for wheelchairs and strollers. Signs will guide you up the left side for the accessible entrance. Expect large crowds going up the main road, if you want to avoid the crowd, there is another road on the right that leads up to the temple, also accessible by wheelchair and strollers. If you’re looking for a peaceful place to pray, don’t expect this to be it. Large tourist and student groups were there.

It is a beautiful temple to visit. There is a garden down below and it was full with the autumn color trees. However, be prepare to deal with a huge crowd. I was there recently in November and there were many tour groups arriving one after another. I understand this is a iconic place in Kyoto that one has to visit. I arrived around 5:15pm and was able to catch the sunset view. You also able to catch a glimpse of Kyoto Tower from here. I then waited for the lighting event and I was glad I stayed and able to get the pictures. As I was leaving, there were still more people coming into the area.

Explore a captivating temple in Kyoto, Japan, often overlooked but truly worth a visit. The main temple requires an entrance fee of 400 yen, offering a glimpse into their rituals and providing breathtaking views of downtown Kyoto. The scenery is particularly enchanting during Spring or Autumn, though in winter, the lack of snow may make the surroundings appear less vibrant. Late December and mid-January may not guarantee a snow-covered landscape, but the temple remains bustling with visitors throughout the year.

One of the most popular and must visit temple in Kyoto. It’s so popular even when we thought the date and time shouldn’t be that it’s flooded with tourists. Getting there is a long walk from the station and mind you, it’s a steep walk up hill along a row of shops/houses. Hence it i takes your mind of the strenuous walk. Be alert that there are throngs of people everywhere. Hence, the ambience ain’t peaceful at all. However, if you can tune them out, the view from the temple onto its i surrounding is magnificent. Moreso, at dusk. The orange purple show in the sky is breathtaking. From here at its vantage point, you can even see Kyoto tower. The temple complex is very old and very distinct in 🇯🇵 architectural design. Except for the crowd, it would have been more enjoyable.

My dad has mobility issues so we had a taxi drop us off as close as he could get. It was still a bit of an uphill walk to the foot of the stairs leading to the temple. To get there you go up a street lined with shops and it looks like Japan must have looked once long ago. The shops sell typical souvenir items like fans, cloth wallets, handkerchiefs and so forth. There are also various Japanese style snacks and treats. It's very fun to explore the shops but so crowded! It's hard to even interrupt the crowd to dart across the street. My dad required frequent breaks to catch his breath and there was nowhere to sit among the throngs of people so he would lean against a building for a bit. He made it to the foot of the temple but we knew that was as far as he could go. He parked himself on some steps and waited for me there. Up some steps and a bit of a walk there were a couple of places where you can throw your 10 yen, clap your hands, and make a wish. The buildings were ancient looking and large and impressive, and the views of the mountain were absolutely breathtaking. But the throngs of people made it difficult to fully appreciate the surroundings. I like to get my book stamped with calligraphy at the various temples and it's a bit different at each one where you go. Some do it where they sell omamori, others have separate windows further in. Some have vertical lines straight from the window, others have winding horizontal lines roped off. I saw a window with a throng of people. As far as I could tell there was no line so I waited for the throng to clear to approach. Several people darted in front of me at the left window, so I asked the man at the right window in my halting Japanese if they do the stamps there. A standing man behind him spoke to me very rudely to get me to go to a different place to get the stamps. I don't remember his exact words but I remember his admonishing tone and rudeness and demeanor very well. I'm not by nature someone who feels entitled to ignore rules. There were no signs in English explaining the procedure. I felt a bit humiliated after that and I had no wish to look around further. I did get my book stamped and it was sloppily done. Then I headed down the way I came back to dad. The beauty and majesty of the place is a 5. The crowds and jostling bring it down to a 4. The rudeness of the temple dude makes it a 3.

Gorgeous views, great structure and blessed nature around. If you go with the crowd probably will miss the best part which is the silence in Nature around the views. For instance I prefer avoiding crowds so always find a trail or path into backyards keeping the peace of mind and spirit. Some dates of their local festivals or meetings shall be avoided unless you prefer to walk amidst a human mass. Also the energy of the place is wonderful to spend good time meditating when it feels clearly time stopped for thousands of years. In my opinion a week or some days are enough to know it better. Depending upon how easy it is to meditate and/or leave the physical body, hours pass in minutes clearing away all kinds of thoughts & feelings. Congratulations for the superb maintenance of this wonderful place. They are extremely well equipped to receive thousands of persons.

Peaceful and calm yet pretty crowded on the way up. Lots of tourists and students swarming the way up alike. Very intricate designs and the temple is a must visit if you are a fan of rich Japanese history. Tickets ( ¥400 each) are needed beyond a certain point and you can buy them from around the entrance point where they are mandated. Once through the checkpoint you make your way to a walkway that leads to the other part of the temple post which you walk down back to the starting point. We were around the time when it was raining a bit and the pathway along with the stairs get a bit slippery. Nothing too treacherous though. Great experience and highly recommended!!

A beautiful temple that is very famous. It's in every tourist book of Japan you've probably ever seen. Avoid going on weekends or public holidays at all costs! If you want to have some time alone here it's probably best to go really early or really late in the day. The view is spectacular and even with all the people it's still worth a visit.

The most impressive and beautiful Buddhist temple in Kyoto. Get there early to beat the crowd. Amazing view of the city since it's built over a waterfall. I came here back in 2015 when it was under repairs, so it's great to see the temple in its fully repaired form in 2024.

One of the most beautiful temples in Japan. Absolutely outstanding. Along the long way up to the Temple, you can buy many kind of souvenirs and local food which is worth trying. If you want to take nice photos, you should visit it between 3.00 to 5.00 pm or before sunset, depend on the season. It is crowded to at the signature photo spot attached, my advice: be patient. We tried to avoid the crowd during peak season by coming on weekdays but it is still overcrowded there.

Great shrine to visit. I recommend to visit early in the morning or at the end of the day like I did with my son. From Kyoto station you can take the bus. Take line 202, 206 or 207. Make sure you have the exact amount of cash with you of you don’t have a travel card. Adult price 230, child 120. I added an extra photo which shows a road which is wheelchair accessible. You can’t go the whole way up but this road allows you to see a lot too. Enjoy

The temple itself is amazing. You should absolutely see it. However, the sheer number of tourists ruins the experience. You can barely walk in some spots. If you're looking to take that super awesome photo of the place with no people, good luck. I went on a Sunday afternoon (I know, what was I thinking) and movement was like slow moving lava. So I tried again Monday morning at 08:30 and it was still already crowded. I tried my best with these photos.

This is a must go place if you are visiting Kyoto. It's a Beautiful Buddhist temple. Mind relaxing scenery. It’s one of the most powerful and sacred Temples in Japan. it’s usually crowded everyday. Every season has its own uniqueness. This place can heal your soul.

One of the most stunning temples in Kyoto. There are many ways to get here, but mostly involve walking after bus or subway. Arrive early in the morning to avoid the massive tourist crowds arriving in tour buses. You can walk up the beautiful shopping alley or via other entrances if you use google maps. Either way, it’s a steep ascend for a beautiful and stunning view at the top. Recommend to try drinking the water at the end to give you good health, love and wisdom.

A nice place to walk through right before sunset; you get a rather epic view of Kyoto in the background and the temples in the foreground. Also, many smiling faces of fellow travellers, everyone was cool though, despite the crowds. It was fairly crowded climbing up to the temple, but as the sun fell and because they did not seem to light the temple or pagoda much, crowds diminished, likely due to poorer photo opportunities in low light, ha ha. As the clock approached 6:00pm though, the staff announced the gates will be closing at 6:00pm, without any indication if that meant trapping inside anyone who did not descend in time, ha ha. I did make it out just in time so I did not have to scout out a comfortable patch of dirt to sleep on had I been sealed in for the night. The structure itself certainly has a mystic atmosphere to it, especially at night. The intentional low lighting inside the temple really draws you in. The darkness inside feels uninviting at first, but walking through it your eyes adjust to reveal all the amazing details. The path down the hill is well lit, and it’s a pleasant stroll through the alleyway markets at night. Around 6:00pm things began closing though. Overall, nice place 👌

I really loved this place. Recommended for anyone in Kyoto. Entrance is 600¥. Goshuiin is 300¥. Charms are around 500¥~1000¥. Bring anti mosquito stuff with you. There are a lot of signs in English around so don’t worry about getting lost. And if you need help, try google maps with strangers, it’s a life saver, but only with single words.

One of the most famous temple in Kyoto. Very beautiful and lots of things to see. This is not a small temple. You will need hours to see. Great place for a walk. Nice photo spot in Kyoto.

Founded in 780, this stunning temple truly is as “pure” a sight as temples offer, much like its name’s meaning suggests. As you climb the hill up to the temple, nothing can quite prepare you for what you behold as you journey further and further back into the space. Shrouded by trees and lofted high above Kyoto, this is one of the must-see visits you should ensure you take while in the area. It makes sense that this is a UNESCO world heritage site, as it should be.

Sharing my photos and videos for you guys to see how beautiful there. The temple, the view, the scenery. I enjoyed my visit there but there's a lot of people. I thought I will only see few people there cause I went there weekdays but I guess I was wrong. But still enjoyed my visit there. Anyway there's a entrance fee of 400yen to go to the temple. And make sure to bring some water with you cause it's a long walk

The place is great and you will walk for this site. It is crowded, so I guess it is better to visit here early to take a lot of good pictures. And along its way before the temple are a lot of shops and foodies available so be sure to have cash. Nice place, and it is better to visit this site during colder months but not winter since it entails a lot of walking. So spring or autumn is I guess the best season to visit here.

A stunningly beautiful temple overlooking the city. The architecture is stunning, Its iconic wooden stage, jutting out precariously over the hillside, offers breathtaking views of Kyoto city. I also enjoyed the walk to the temple, which is surrounded by shops and restaurants, with lots of delicious options for street food and ice cream.

A beautiful place to visit, lovely scenery, so relaxing and peaceful. We didn’t come on a weekend so it was extra busy but the architecture was breathtaking. It was a trek to get up, but it was definitely worth it. We passed the traditional stores and bought a few items as souvenirs.

Must visit temple in Kyoto. If you have time to visit only one temple, this should be it!! We visited after dark in November as there were special opening hours during the fall season. The night illumination along with the fall colors is a beautiful experience. There is a viewing platform (stage) to get a nice view of Kyoto city. Get there for the best photos of the city and Kyoto tower as well. As this is such a popular attraction, you cannot avoid large number of tourists no matter when you go. If you have a chance, visit it at dusk to experience it in daylight and night time as well

Pure Water Temple. A must see in Kyoto. This is one of the most photographed places in Japan and there's a good reason for it. The temple is magnificent, and the views of Kyoto during the sunset are breathtaking. It's worth visiting during the fall when the foliage is beautiful. With so much history, you'll be impressed at every corner at the temple.

One of the most iconic temples in Kyoto due to its enormous veranda. I would recommend you visit in the spring or the fall to enjoy the surrounding foliage and cherry blossoms. It was really nice to check out the entire temple grounds and it takes about 1 hour to go through top to bottom. A must on the Kyoto bucket list.

Beautiful temple, especially in the foliage season. It was undergoing renovations for several years before 2020 but it looks to have been fully restored. As it is one of the most popular attractions in Kyoto, do plan to go early morning, as soon as it opens at 9am. It’s a nice starting point for a day of sightseeing in Gion, etc.

One of the most famous temples in Kyoto, this structure is a delight to enjoy with great views, but still with relatively easy access. But due to this fact, is extremely crowded during tourist seasons. Architecturally this temple is very interesting, as it was built extending off the mountain peak. The street leading up to the temple is filled with lots of great shops, with a variety of goods.

Really a mesmerizing place! I went during summer and when the Japan was still closed for tourists. However, the halls were full of people. It is good to spend a couple of hours strolling through the place. There’s a nominal ¥400 (~$3) admission fee to enter the main hall.

Kiyomizudera literally translates to "Pure Water Temple", being one of the most popular temples in Japan, it was founded in the year 780 during Nara period (when Nara was the capital of Japan, ruled over by an empress). The current buildings in Kiyomizudera were constructed by Tokugawa Iemitsu from the Tokugawa Shogunate. This temple is one of the most important Buddhist temples in Japan and a part of Historic Monuments of Ancient Kyoto UNESCO world heritage sites. A popular expression "to jump off the stage at Kiyomizu" is assoicated with Kiyomizudera, referring to an Edo-period tradition saying that if one were to survive a 13-meter jump from the stage, one's wish would be granted. During the Edo period, 234 jumps were recorded, and of those, 85.4% survived, this practice was prohibited in 1872. Kiyomizudera is one of the most important places to visit in Kyoto, having beautiful foliage during Spring and especially during Autumn. Being located on the foothills of Mount Otowa, one can get a serene view of Kyoto and can even see the Kyoto tower on a clear day. The temple organizes special nigh illuminations during Autumn and Spring season so be sure to check out if you are in Kansai.

This is one of my favorite places to visit in Kyoto! There is a pedestrian only street that leads up to the temple that is lined with dozens of souvenir shops and restaurants/cafes/snack shops. This temple and area around it are beautiful and worth a visit both during the day and evening once it’s lit up. Also very beautiful during the cherry blossom season! It’s free to walk around the structures and area around the main building of the temple but it costs money to get onto the main building. It’s totally worth the entrance fee as the views from the main platform are stunning. This place is a must visit for sure!

Extremely cool concept of a temple on the mountain side. Amazing to look at and definitely a must-see. However, its location allows for less space and being such a popular destination, it is going to be extremely crowded at all times. This one is actually worth visiting at the break of dawn.

This is one of the most iconic and historical temples in Kyoto with magnificent views. It is also part of the historical monuments of ancient Kyoto UNESCO world heritage site. This place is always crowded because of its fame, history and the beautiful views. We went there in early November, when fall foilage just begun. We had the opportunity to capture all the colors. This place definitely worth a visit.

It was an amazing place in a sunny day. Winter is less crowded and quite enjoyable. Just spend some time walking around and enjoying the view. It is possible to visit the temple (the part accessible to tourists). It is interesting to have a look, but the nicest part is outside.

(Translated by Google) I have visited since my school trip. One of the highlights of sightseeing in Kyoto. The view from the hill is very nice. A valuable spot that you should visit once to learn about Japanese culture. (Original) 修学旅行以来に訪問しました。京都観光の目玉の一つ。高台からの見晴らしは大変素晴らしいです。日本の文化を学ぶ上で一度は行って頂きたい貴重なスポット。

A must visit place in Kyoto. It is in a hill area. From the temple area you can get nice city view. Many people will come here by wearing kimono which looks really exciting. On the way to the temple area there are so many kimono rental shop. The entry fee is 400 yen per person. The best time to visit this temple is mid November to early December. The problem is that this temple area is always crowded.

(Translated by Google) Speaking of sightseeing in Kyoto, Kiyomizu-dera is the place to go. Admission was 400 yen. If you don't walk from the parking lot, you'll be worried about the delicate distance, but it's usually the best. The stage of Kiyomizu has been remodeled and has become beautiful. I didn't remodel it when I came here before. The color of the wood is different only in the place where I am remodeling, so I'm curious, but I thought that the view of Kyoto city from the stage of Kiyomizu was superb. (Original) 京都観光と言えば清水寺やな。入場400円でした。駐車場から歩かないとあかん微妙な距離が気になるけど普通に最高です。清水の舞台がリフォームして綺麗になってました。以前来た時はリフォームしてなかったんやけどな。小生的にリフォームしてる所だけ木材の色が違うので気になるけど清水の舞台から見る京都市内はやっぱり絶景やと思ったわ

(Translated by Google) This is the first time since my school trip. I almost forgot except the stage! Part of the stage is under construction 🚧 Sorry It was good that my husband could walk around with me. There was one place I couldn't stop by, and I wanted to thank the "Love Fortune Stone" at the landlord shrine. (Original) 修学旅行以来です。舞台以外ほぼ、忘れてました！ 舞台の一部が、工事中🚧残念です 主人も一緒に歩いて回れたので良かったです。 １ヶ所寄れなかった場所があり、地主神社の「恋占いの石」にお礼参りしたかったです。

(Translated by Google) Speaking of Kyoto, "Kiyomizu-dera". I went on school trips, graduation trips, and solo trips for junior high and high schools in various age groups. Isn't there a lot of such people? No matter how many times you go in any season, you will be deeply moved. It's fun to take souvenirs and eat while walking down the slope until you reach Kiyomizu-dera, so it's especially recommended for those who want to feel like traveling. (Original) やはり京都と言えば「清水寺」。中学高校の修学旅行、卒業旅行、一人旅など様々な年代で行きました。そのような人は多いのでは？どの季節に何度行っても感慨深い気持ちになります。清水寺に着くまでの坂道でお土産や食べ歩きをするのも楽しいので、旅行気分を味わいたい方には特におすすめです。

Beautiful Buddhist temple located in Kyoto. Mind relaxing scenery. It’s called as one of powerful and sacred Temples in Japan. Because of its’ sacredness, if you visit during any time of the year it’s crowded. It’s amazing. Spring, summer , autumn 🍂 and winter ❄️ you can enjoy the four kinds of sceneries at the same place. Awesomeness. Spiritual blessings. Blessed 😇

Beautiful temple with even better sunset view. After sun sets, lights are turned on to make it even more photogenic. The walk up and down the temple was a good exercise and the views paid off. But there were too many people packed in layers to take photos.

THANH THUY CREAM – A DESTINATION NOT TO MISS IN KYOTO Kiyomizu - dera Temple (Vietnamese is Thanh Thuy Temple) was built in the early Nara period (778), Experiencing many events and fires, so the early architecture was no longer there and the present temple was built. back to 1633. Inside the main hall, there is an 11-faced, thousand-hand (thousand-eyes) Guanyin Buddha statue, which is the national treasure of Japan. The temple was recognized by Unesco as a world cultural heritage in 1994 Every season has its own beauty

There is simply no way you want to go to Kyoto and miss this. The entrance fee is ~500yen and the temples are absolutely beautiful with a spectacular view. It's a small climb up the hill to get to the place, I recommend taking the busy road one way and one of the less busy side streets on the way down. I recommend hiking up early to avoid the crowds.

A beautiful shrine and really unique, gets very crowded so try and come early and on weekdays. It opens at 6:00 in the morning and the entrance fee is 400 yen. Walk around and check out the souvenir shops in the area, there’s some unique trinkets to buy. Be sure to drink from one of the waterfalls: success/love/health,but don’t drink from all of them Because it’s considered greedy.

This temple is very particular due to its location. It is raised above the city and allows you to admire a unique panorama. It is immersed in nature and it was a pleasure to see it despite the somewhat gray day that happened to us in April of this year. I recommend the route towards the Pagoda, a little away from the main body, but integrated into the greenery of nature like few others. The suspended wood also has a nice effect. They do the goshuin, but get in line right away so you don't risk having to wait too long, they often close mid-afternoon in most temples.

Probably the best place I have ever visit in my entire life and not only in "Japan". The whole trip to there was amazing. You start to walk inside trees and go higher in the hill were is the temple. And when you enter you are face with one incredible beauty. You start to walk inside the temple and watch the trees, the lakes, the amazing temples, and off course the incredible view from there. You can watch the whole "Kyoto" in many areas at the temple because we are talking for very big temple which contains many small inside. The view of the temples inside the trees was really incredible exprience. You was transport back 400 years were there was cities, cars etc. Only people and the wild. And yes, this place was the most "wild" we visited. If you are in "Kyoto", there is nothing better than this temple for me. You must go

It is very scenic. There are stairs only to get to the top. 400 yen cash only entrance fee. We went on a humid and hot day; took about 20min walk from the train station to get to the temple. Bring water as there are no vendors/kiosks at the top of temple. There are cafe at the entrance and exit but they were full and no a/c.

The road to the temple is extremely crowded during the autumn foliage season (probably the same as cherry blossom season). But the foliage is the most epic and best I've ever seen!! There are also a lot of matcha and local snacks along the way and they are really good to eat and many things to see. Highly recommend!! I would definitely come back to see different views in different seasons.

It’s so nice and spectacular view from the top. I love the overlooking view of the city. Must go on autumn season since they are have a special lighting and has a long time of viewing. I love to see this one more time but other season like spring or summer.

Absolutely worth a visit. The nature is stunning, the old temples very beautiful and breathtaking and the view is just beautiful. We visited during the rainy season (yesterday), but the rain wasn't an issue. It was so worth it. We came with a pram and it was easily accessible. It's a little steep here and there. But You can reach everything. Our toddler enjoyed running around and my infant peacefully slept. There were nappy changing stations.

(Translated by Google) Representation from Japan Kiyomizu's stage (Original) 日本代表 きよみずの舞台

One of the many beautiful temples in Kyoto, actually my favorite one to date. You can see more inside when you pay the entrance fee of 400 yen, but dont worry, it's totally worth the price.

平成28年11月に拝観しました。初めて訪れたのは昭和47年、小学校の修学旅行でした。それ以来何度も訪れています。 清水寺は京都一の観光地だそうです。清水坂の人、人、人。ただ、着物を着ている人を見かけましたが喋っている言葉は日本語ではありませんでした。みんなこのお寺が目的でしょうか？清水の舞台も人だらけ。 ちなみにここから飛び降りた人の死亡率は15%程だそうです。 御朱印はほとんど並ばずにいただけました。西国三十三所の御朱印をいただきましたが、他の御朱印もありました。

(Translated by Google) The mountain number is "Mt. Otowa" The official name is "Otowayama Kiyomizu-dera". Originally it belonged to the Hosso sect, but now it is independent and calls itself the northern Hosso sect Omotoyama. The principal image is "Eleven-faced Senju Kanzeon Bosatsu". Kiyomizu-dera is a temple of the Hosso sect (one of the six southern sects), and is one of the few temples in Kyoto that has a history from before the transfer of capital to Heiankyo, along with Goryu-ji and Kurama-dera. In addition, along with Ishiyamadera (Otsu City) and Hasedera (Sakurai City), it is one of the leading Kannon sacred sites in Japan. We were looking for kanji for this year, so we applied for this year's kanji with all our heart and paid the bill.

(Translated by Google) A super famous temple in Kyoto that can only be evaluated with five stars. An old temple with a great view, a great view of history, a great atmosphere, and a good atmosphere even on a sunny or rainy day. The famous stage was renewed last year, and although it feels a little strange to the surrounding scenery, I am grateful for the precious historical timing when I think that it will eventually become familiar with the scenery. You can access it from the two roads of Chawanzaka and Shimizuzaka, but if you go by car, you can't make a U-turn to Chawanzaka until the end, so you have to put it in a nearby parking lot. You can make a U-turn at the end of Shimizuzaka, but there is no parking, so it is recommended to park at the parking lot before entering the hill. The details of the temple are written in full without explaining here. There are not many shops in Chawanzaka, but it is close to the Keihan train station, and there are many shops in Shimizuzaka, so you can enjoy the atmosphere of Monzen-cho. (Original) 五つ星以外評価しようが無い京都の超有名寺院。眺望抜群・歴史観抜群・風情抜群・晴れていても雨の日でもそれなりの風情がある名所・古刹。有名な舞台は昨年リニューアルされて、周りの風景と少し違和感がるけどいずれ景色になじんでくるのかと思うと、貴重な歴史的タイミングに感謝。アクセスには茶碗坂・清水坂の二本の道からアクセス出来るけど、車で行くと茶碗坂は最終迄行くとＵターン不可なので、近くのパーキングに入れるしかない。清水坂は突き当りでＵターン出来るけどパーキングがないので、坂に入る手前のパーキングで駐車するのがおススメ。お寺の詳細はここで説明しなくても一杯書かれている。茶碗坂はお店は余り無いけど京阪電車の駅に近く、清水坂はお店が多く門前町の雰囲気が楽しめる。

(Translated by Google) Kyoto is almost always a place that everyone visits, and the view from the stage of Kiyomizu is worth a visit. (Original) 京都といえば必ずと言っていいほど誰もが訪れる場所、清水の舞台からの眺めは一見の価値あり。

(Translated by Google) There were few people because of the corona (ﾟ Д ﾟ;)! !! !! Moreover, the souvenir shop was closed by about 70%, which was a bit disappointing. (Original) コロナのせいでほとんど人がいませんでした(ﾟДﾟ;)！！！しかもお土産屋さんも約7割ぐらい閉まってて、ちょっと残念でした。

Beautiful Buddhist temple in Kyoto. The temple is part of the historic monuments of ancient Kyoto and UNESCO world heritage site. The complex includes several shrines, talismans, incense and omikuji (paper fortunes). The site is particularly popular and in 2007 was one of 21 finalist for the new seven wonders of the world. A must visit if you are in Japan.

You must visit this place with your friend if you want to feel the essence of japan culture. old shop, houses design and a hundred years old Japanese style house is in here. you can also rest yukata and other traditional Japanese clothing. I love this Place

Stunning architecture with views that you won't forget. A definite must see if you're in Kyoto. Popular spot for families and students. Sadly I didn't see an easy way for wheelchairs to make it up here besides somehow getting a car to drive to the top. You may need special permission to do this.

This was one of my favourite temples we went to on our trip. Expect it to be very busy! The crowdedness didn’t really bother me as I was expecting it and for me it didn’t take away from the beauty there was to see. The temple was amazing and the views were absolutely breathtaking. Not to mention there are TONS of shops and food places on the walk up to the temple which makes for a very fun and full day of sightseeing, eating and shopping! You will see tons of people in kimonos (I was one of those people) as there are tons of kimono rental places around here. You can get some AMAZING photos here wearing your kimono, which I totally recommend too!

Fantastic view, great place to visit. The entry to first part is for free but the actual temple area is paid. Great view of Kyoto can be seen from the second part, and gives ample opportunity to take very nice pictures. It is a bit hard to reach if you have a problem walking uphill, just be prepared for a bit of climb when coming here.

A truly beautiful area just like the photos you have seen show. Although crowded, it still gives off a feeling of tranquility to be surrounded in such a wonderful place. When drinking the water falling overhead, please do not drink straight from the scooper but instead pour the water on your hand and drink from there. Saw a person drinking straight from it and it was disgusting.

Spectacular - amazing. Buy the ticket for 400 to enter into the entire grounds. It’s not just for the temple. Then take a medium hike all the way through the Kyoto trail to the next temple nearby. You will have an opportunity to walk through the Japanese (rain) forest. It is magical.

The road to the temple is ascending. But when you finally reach up top, it will be worth it. Pack with lots of people. You could take sanneizaka route on the way down. It is beautiful but pack with peoples. Very busy street. Lots of snack and souvenir shop.

Undoubtedly one of the signature UNESCO world heritage sites for every tourist (13mil) to Kyoto. Dating back 778 CE, this amazing structure still holds it weight with just sheer wooden beams in lattice square structure underneath for 1250 years! This celebrated temple with a large wooden veranda that provides a majestic view of the surrounding forest as well a panoramic view of the city. As such tourist throngs expected here too.

Nice shrine with a great view over the city. Get here early if you want to avoid the crowds! I got here at around 7 and it was practically empty, so I was able to freely explore without any lines or crowds.

Highly advice you to get here early before the main tourists come. Beautiful short hike up the road and around the temple. I came here around 6:45am - 7am and was done by 8am the sun was already getting hot in the summer here. Serene views and tranquil, place was already starting to get busy from 8:30am - 9am Entry fee to walk through, worth it to get the views.

The temple as well as the view of the city and nature are beautiful! But from early on in the morning, the area around the main hall is very crowded. Luckily, as soon as you move on from the main hall there aren't as many people and you get to enjoy the peace of the nature around you.

This temple is located atop a hill and provides great views of Kyoto. Would recommend visiting during the week to avoid the crowds and during less oppressive heat. There’s some walking which would be extremely pleasant in good weather.

Large buddhist temple with many interesting buildings and structures. You can buy a fortune, ring some bells, and cleanse yourself with water. The views are also amazing and I highly recommend coming here for photo opportunities.

Stunning temple with beautiful views over the city. Very crowded and lots of steps but wonderful photo opportunities. Neighboring area around the temple is filled with unique shops and treats to eat. Loved seeing many women dressed up traditionally in kimonos. This is a must see when visiting Kyoto. Traveled here in March.

Went at around 5pm. It closes at 6pm at this time of the year (September). Managed to catch the setting sun. Overall, very pleasant and serene vibes; though it was really crowded. Perhaps heading there early in the morning would be nicer? Nevertheless, still a plus to catch the setting sun.

A UNESCO World Heritage site with a picturesque temple hall and purifying spring. It also has an amazing view of the city. A bit of a walk from the main road but a lot of food and souvenir shops line the pathway to the temple.

It was a beautiful shrine! It felt so sacred, and I’m glad I was there at around 8am, with few tourists yet. I had a peaceful and relaxing time, enjoying the serenity of the temple.

Definitely worth a visit. Beautiful place with nice angles for pictures. The different seasons with different colour leaves adds different views of the place. It was very crowded when I visited though as it coincides with the end of the summer holidays (end Sep) and student visits were out in droves. Lots of tourists too.

A beautiful temple built on a hillside that offers a nice view of Kyoto - this was one of my favorites. Prepare to battle significant crowds, but it is well worth the trip! Don't miss out on the unique experience of touring the "womb" shrine to the left/north of the pagoda before you enter the actual temple.

This is the best spot to watch the sunset! It is a historic and iconic Buddhist temple in Kyoto. It's known for its wooden stage that offers panoramic views of the city. Its UNESCO World Heritage status.

The temple is remarkable feat of Japanese architecture, constructed without the use of nails. It is perched on wooden stilts, with breathtaking views of Kyoto and its lush surroundings. The three streams of the Otowa Waterfall represent health, longevity, and success in studies, and sipping from the spring adds a joyful touch to the visit.

Went during autumn but can't catch the autumn leaves yet. Crowd before 10am still manageable. After 10am, the busses arrived and can even enter the parking. Shop houses along the stretch also started to open early but at touristy price.

Stunning! It’s so authentically Japan, the architecture is breathtaking and the surrounding views are also gorgeous. There is really really a lot of tourists though, so if you want to grab some nice photos with no one around, be sure to arrive here early! definitely recommended, it’s a must go for anyone in Kyoto!

When you have seen photos of Kyoto, you most likely have seen this sight. Over a thousand years since the original founding, it has various Buddhist halls and services available. Great during the day or evening for views of nature and the city. It will be packed. Please be aware of this. No matter the time or weather. It is one of the biggest drawing sites in the city besides Kinkakuji. However, that said the walk up is lined with basically all the perfect souvenir shops and food stalls that you could want and you can find nearly everything you could want there. While there is handicapped accessibility, the amount of people as well as the steep hill (about 30 degree incline max at sometimes) would make it difficult to roll yourself up or even have someone assist with pushing at times.

Immerse yourself in the tranquility of this exquisite heritage temple, where you can marvel at the captivating beauty of traditional Japanese temple architecture. The serene atmosphere within the temple grounds invites leisurely strolls and quiet contemplation. This must-visit destination in Kyoto is sure to leave a lasting impression. However, be prepared for sizable crowds during the late morning and afternoon hours.

Beautiful temple, one of my favourites in Kyoto. From bottom to top accessible via ramps for strollers and wheelchairs, great for families with kids. Very crowded after 9-10, arriving around 8am is recommended, or maybe for sunset

Absolutely beautiful place! Really worth taking the time to go up there. The walk up is not too difficult or too long and has a variety of shops and cafe/restaurants along the way. The main and perhaps only downside is the amount of people that were there. Both on the way to it and inside the temple was very crowded was made it sometimes difficult to look around and take photos or even to relax to enjoy the view. Perhaps going very early in the morning when ticketing booths open might be better.

Best views to Kyoto! Also if you be there end of November, then you will enjoy all verity of red Japanese maples. This place is very crowded, better to come before 9 am. On the way up and down there are many touristic souvenir shops, those are open from 9 am

Made it just in time for the autumn illumination event. ¥400 enter fee. Dont second guess going just do it. It was beautiful.

Great during the day or at night. Made extra special but the old shops and streets as you walk up. Can be a bit of a steep slope but worth every step for the panoramic views and peaceful wooden structure. One of a kind.

Unfortunately, the day I went, the observation deck was closed but it was still a nice trip. Did to Covid19, there were only a few visitors so I could peacefully enjoy the elegance of the temple.

This is the great place to spend few hours walking around the temple and you can see the nice view of Kyoto city. Rental Kimonos are a lot cheaper than in Tokyo and also different so you would better try it and walk around Kyoto for amazing experience. You can see Rental Kimono Shops on the way to Kiyomizu-dera Temple. I would recommend you to go in the late November to Early December so that you can get amazing view and fantastic pictures of Kiyomizu-dera Temple during the Autumn season.

It was absolutely beautiful! Was a little bit lucky to visit here when there were not a lot of people. It used to be packed!

One of the must visit places in Kyoto. The view from the viewing hall is mesmerizing. The sun set view from the entrance steps is beautiful. There is night light decoration during last weeks of november.

Kiyomizu-dera, is a must-visit while in Kyoto, with unique Japanese temples, with stunning views, you're in a wonderland.

Come to this place in autumn.. Feel the red yellow a 1000 leaves in 100 trees here.. Heritage place.. calm .. Dont forget , Enjoy the tea there

(Translated by Google) It is said that it was founded by Enchin Shonin during the Heian period. It is a temple that has a deep connection with Sakanoue Tamura Maro, who controlled Ezo (present-day Tohoku region). After all, the stage of Kiyomizu is the highlight. If you go from evening to night, you can see the night view of Kyoto faintly. The admission fee is 400 yen, which is a little cheaper than other temples and shrines, and there are no special or other expensive places. However, since you will go up the slope all the way from the nearest station, Kiyomizu-Gojo Station, you should go as if you were climbing a petit mountain (laughs). However, there are many stores on the way, so you can enjoy sightseeing while climbing. (Original) 平安時代、延鎮上人によって創建されたと伝えられています。 蝦夷(現在の東北地方)を制圧した坂上田村麻呂とも深い繋がりがあるお寺です。なんといっても清水の舞台がみどころです。 夕方から夜にいけば京都の夜景もかすかに見えます。 拝観料は400円と他の寺社に比べてやや安く、特別その他お金がかかるところもありません。しかし最寄駅の清水五条駅から坂道をずっと上っていくのでプチ登山感覚で行った方がよいです(笑) ただ途中には出店も多く楽しく観光しながら登ることができます。

(Translated by Google) too crowded. too many people, too many visitors and some sections were closed due to renovations. but this building is indeed unusually high. it is said that even ninja training is held in this temple by jumping from the temple to the bottom. really beyond reason, but if it could be extraordinary. besides that there was a stick that used to be used by monks in his time which was very different from the sticks that exist today, very heavy. imagine the strength and greatness of the ninja and monks. at the bottom there is water which he said if we drink it will prolong life. believe it or not, let's just try it.

There are many shops along the way and you can enjoy it. You can enter in front of Kiyomizu-dera by paying an adult ¥ 400 and receiving a ticket. Lots of highlights. The scenery is so wonderful that you can take good pictures even if you are not good at photography. There are also many money boxes.

Just view this place if you haven’t, even the street that connects this temple is beautiful. It has love deity where the girls have to walk between two love stones blindfolded which resembles that they will find their partner and the place has various good deeds too.

This is one of the high altitude place in kyoto. You will just love it after reaching the top position. You never get bored when you started your journey. You can see japanese traditional things all overe there. You can see many temple too. You need to pay for visit the place.

願いが叶うとされる音羽の滝。修学旅行で来たときは「恋愛」でしたがン十年たった今は迷わず「健康」を選びます。 Photos were taken before COVID. Kiyomizu means "pure water" and this temple was named after the waterfall from the mountain. The temple's precinct is very large, and it is good to have one hour to walk around. One of the famous places in this temple is the Main Hall. It is also called the Kiyomizu stage, and the view from the stage is great. Kiyomizu Stage was built from 12-meter high Japanese Zelkova pillars and they were assembled without using a single nail. The floor was installed using more than 400 cypress boards. In Japan, when we make a big decision to take a chance, we say, "Try as if you are jumping from the Kiyomizu stage!" At the left side of the main hall, there are 2 iron canes and clogs. It is said that Benkei, who was one of the strongest samurais in Japan, had them. The bigger cane weighs 90kg! You can try to lift them. Lastly, go down to the Otowa waterfall. There are 3 lines of waterfall, and each has meaning, Love, Intelligence, and Health from the left. Choose one of them and sip one time, then it is said that you will have the divine favour of chosen waterfall. If you drink more than one sip, or drink three of them, the divine favour will be gone. This is the lesson for not being greedy in Buddhism. Choose one!

近くにある清水坂観光駐車場にとめて行きました。1回1040円で、近隣のコインパーキングに比べると良心的です。 途中までは無料ですが、本堂や舞台などの境内を見学するには400円かかります。 通常年間1000万人以上が訪れる一大観光地なだけあり、素敵な場所でした。 清水寺といえば舞台ですよね。なぜあんな高い場所にせり出した舞台があるのか気になったので調べてみました。 清水寺の本尊は千手観音です。千手観音がもともといらっしゃる場所は補陀落（ふだらく）という場所です。補陀落はインドの南にある島で、そこには険しい山がそびえ立っていると言われています。 インドの千手観音を本尊とするお堂を建てるためには、補陀落の地形に見立てたかのような場所が必要だったわけです。 崖のギリギリな地形の場所にお堂や本堂を建てるインドの補陀落にならって、清水寺も当時崖ギリギリに建てられました。 清水寺はやがて本堂ではおさまりきらないほど参拝客が来る有名なお寺になり、そこで改装をする必要が出てきました。 元々本堂が崖のギリギリに建っているため、増築する場所がありません。そこで、崖にせり出した舞台のように本堂を増築するという方法がとられたのです。これを「懸造り（かけづくり）」といいます。清水の舞台を支える独特な建築様式です。 崖ギリギリに建ったお寺が増築などをする際にはこの懸造りが用いられるのです。 清水の舞台は、無理矢理増築した結果だったのです。

I always stop at the parking lot of Kodaiji Temple and enjoy the slope before going to Kiyomizu Temple, but I never get tired of going there 🤔 I think it will take a long time to go around every corner of the slope, so if you want to thoroughly enjoy it, plan it!

One of my favourite locations in Kyoto. It’s simply beautiful. Have been lucky to visit this place when it wasn’t very crowded. Will definitely come back again.

It is a historical site that is over a thousand years old. Depending on the season, you can enjoy a very beautiful scenery. Because it is very old, it is often repaired.

Great temple, there are many things to checkout there. The place is the size of an entire park, there is so much history to learn signs with English and Japanese are available at every area with information about the history of the place. During the winter it’s a fun place to go. Tourist markets at the street leading up to the temple aren’t expensive. Highly recommend people interested into history to visit the place.

A must visit. Take your time and slowly walk around enjoying the marvelous structure. The entry fee is 400 yen. You can visit at night only few times a year. Went again at night. It was beautiful.

Went to Kiyomizu-dera twice and on both occasions the landmark temple in Kyoto was still under restoration. The temple has extended opening hours during Cherry Blossom season and the sunset view from above is spectacular! Now the restoration has been completed, can't wait to visit the temple in near future.

Beautiful during autumn. You can enjoy the scenic view at the top. Entrance fee is ¥800 for adults. It was crowded during weekend and despite the rainy weather. You can explore the bottom area of the temple for free. The entrance fee is applicable if you want to go to the very top.

(Trip was made back then on 5 Dec 2019, 2 years before the Covid-19 Pandemic hit) Kiyomizudera Temple was one of the autumn foliage sites we were hoping to visit but unfortunately by the time we arrived on 5 Dec 2019, the autumn season has just ended and most of the autumn leaves have already fallen, so the scenery wasn’t as spectacular. Mid-November would have been a better time for viewing but unfortunately we planned Kyoto as the mid-point of our trip. Nevertheless, the temple grounds was still a sight to behold. Would definitely visit again in future when we get the chance.

I've come here three times before, but only in the daytime. This was my first time coming an hour right before closing. The temple lights illuminate the place like nothing else. I can see why there were some many couples at this time. It suddenly started to snow heavily, but not one did it feel dangerous to be walking in the upper sections.

A favorite temple for locals and young people who love trying Japanese kimono cosplay. We enjoyed surrounding by many young people in traditional elegance that was hard to find in other cities in Japan.

Perfect in every way! Amazing to know that it was all built without any nails in its structure. A masterpiece! One of the most amazing places I've ever been in my life!

This Buddhist temple is one of Kyoto's most unique and most visited sites in the ancient city. Located right at the edge of the old Higashiyama area of Kyoto, the temple is famous for its veranda and it's natural spring water. Nearby is a shrine for those seeking love.

This temple is super nice and the whole area around it is just such a vibe. Really like walking up the area and just taking in the atmosphere. Always make it a thing to visit the temple when ever I'm in kyoto. Hop into one of the restaurants over looking the hills and just chill out with some hot tea. Tonnes of locals visit the temple every day and you'll see lots of school excursions as well

Must visit if you go to Japan to get that Kyoto vibe. It's an incredible temple surrounded by beautiful narrow streets files with cute little shops. A beautiful display of traditional Japanese architecture and aesthetics.

It's a beautiful walk and view. We enjoyed every stop all they way up to this place, as if we are walking backward from modern to ancient city. We went up in the afternoon to enjoy sunset, but we couldn't get past the gate to the other side since it's tim to close.

Beautiful temple with city view and multiple small trails that branch out to little cafes and shrines. We didn’t have to buy the tickets in advance and paid 400 yen per adult to enter. There was also a section inside where you can experience complete darkness and make a wish on a sacred rock for which you can pay 100 yen for (super cool!). From the station/bus to the shrine, I recommend you walk through either Ninenzaka or Sannenzaka which have a lot of small shops for tourists to buy souvenirs and try street food. There were also so many pottery stores if you’re into that sorts of stuff.

This shrine is one of the most famous of Kyoto. Plenty of photos (ads, reports, ....) show this temple when promoting Japan. The counterpart is that it's (almost always) crowded. Plenty of tourists and local people pay a visit to it. The view on Kyoto from the surrounding gardens is impressive. Especially during sunny days Not to miss if you're in Kyoto.

One of the best attractions in Kyoto. You can see nice sunsets from this place. Too many people. I mean super crowded. Hard to walk by. Mostly foreigners.

A place loved by the locals and also the travellers. Famous for its fantastic view of it's scenery, especially in the autumn when the maple leaves turn brownish red. Entrance fee applied with moderate walking distance throughout the attraction point. It is very crowded so be sure to reach early as well.
