What other travelers are saying about Kiyomizudera Temple
Is this my first time to visit this site. It was absolutely stunning. This is most likely my favorite part in Kyoto. The walk there was beautiful and looking back over the city was even better. The buildings are truly impressive. The view from the balconies are also very beautiful. They should be your number one spot to see in Kyoto.
We recently stopped in Japan on one of our trips to Korea to visit my wife’s family. From Tokyo, we booked a tour to Osaka, Kyoto and Nara on the bullet train. One of the places we visited was this Buddhist temple. It was amazing in size and how it was build. A very nice place to see the building and learn the history. A must see on a trip here.
Amazing temple! Something about this place makes it so majestic and fascinating.
I would recommend coming during late hours, as there less people during 4:00-5:00 pm. The closing time is 6:00pm, so don’t miss this spot.
Kiyomizudera is a must-visit destination during the winter season. Although reaching the temple requires a slightly uphill walk, the journey is well worth the effort. The peaceful atmosphere, combined with snow-dusted rooftops and breathtaking views over Kyoto, creates a deeply rewarding and memorable experience. It’s a serene escape that captures the quiet beauty of winter and leaves a lasting impression on anyone who visits.
We had beautiful weather when we visited, which made the whole experience even more special. The walk up is a bit of a climb, but absolutely worth it. The temple is stunning — both the architecture and the view over Kyoto are unforgettable. A must-see spot!
