 Kiyomizu
Temple
Kiyomizu Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage Site,
was established in 778. The Main Hall with its
famous extended veranda is a National Treasure.
The majority of the 13 halls and 2 pagodas in
the precinct are designated as Important Cultural
Assets.
The veranda, built on
a 13 meter cliff and supported by wooden pillars
without the use of a single nail, commands a panoramic
view of the city. At night the autumn temple illumination
with tinted maples surrounding is truly magnificent.
