KYOTO

History and Traditional Culture

Kiyomizu-dera Temple

Virtually synonymous with Kyoto, this World Heritage site boasts a 1,200-year history. Of its many striking sights, most famous is its massive wooden stage, looming 13 meters above the hillside and offering spectacular views of the trees below. Come in fall and you'll be treated to brilliant foliage, illuminated at night to create a stunningly otherworldly scene.
