What other travelers are saying about Kiyomizudera Temple
Probably spent the most time here, due to overcrowding and also just the view you get from high up. Fortunately I was able to spend the night and visited during night time and in the afternoon. It closes at night but you can see the streets without any crowds, during operating hours, it was super packed but worth the ticket to enter. The view was amazing despite the large crowd and the pagoda across also provided great experience for me. It is a little slippery along the way so would be cautious visiting this place in the rain/wet seasons. But definitely worth purchasing the ticket and visiting!
Absolutely amazing structure entirely made of wood. The approach up the main street is extremely busy and even the temple surrounds were as well. However plenty of opportunities to experience the temple and to take some happy snaps. Also restaurant on the way back down. Should you need a break and some shaved ice?
Amazing shrine complex! A UNESCO World Heritage site in Kyoto, renowned for its stunning hillside location and breathtaking views. The temple's iconic wooden stage is built without nails. Nice panoramic vistas! Historic pagodas, shrines, and the Otowa Waterfall is also around the corner - a perfect blend of nature and culture!
Magnificent temple and park. What a lovely setup and design. Well maintained and this is a crowded tourist spot now. So many spots for amazing pictures. Marvelous indeed, a must visit in Kyoto. Too good!
Maybe I just got lucky with the time of day that I went, but this ended up being one of the biggest highlights in Japan. Extremely picturesque. It was larger than I thought.
There is a lot of verticality for this temple. The entrance fee is 500¥ per person.
