Kiyotaki-ji Temple, Buddhist temple in Tosa, Japan

Kiyotaki-ji is a Shingon Buddhist temple on the slope of Mount Kiyotaki in Tosa, Kōchi, at an elevation of 131.5 m. Its main hall and Daishidō stand on stone terraces reached by staircases, with a 15 m Yakushi Nyorai statue on a stone base and a bell tower in the garden. A stone lantern and a red banner with white characters stand near the entrance.

A priest founded this temple in 723 and created a Buddha statue as the central sacred object of the site. The temple's name was later coined following the emergence of a natural spring at this location.

The temple's name comes from the story of Kukai striking his staff and releasing spring water that formed a mirror-like pond, hence Kiyotaki-ji, "clear waterfall temple". A stream now flows artificially down the slope right of the main hall, fed by the Akai spring of the Oku-no-in. Near the bell tower stands a stone tablet inscribed with Basho's verse: "Kiyotaki ya, nami ni chikomu, ao matsuba."

Visitors reach the temple buildings by passing through a large gate and then climbing multiple staircases to access the different structures. Appropriate footwear is recommended since the pathways are made of stone and sometimes steep.

The temple's name is connected to a legendary story about a spring that is said to have emerged here after an intense spiritual practice. This spring is preserved to this day with a reflective water surface that contributed to the place's name.
