清水寺, Buddhist temple in Higashiyama, Kyoto, Japan
Kiyomizu-dera temple stands on Mount Otowa with a wooden stage extending 13 meters above the hillside, offering views across eastern Kyoto.
The temple was established in 778 by Enchin Shonin after discovering the Otowa spring, with current structures dating from 1633 under Tokugawa Iemitsu.
The temple contains the Jishu Shrine where visitors walk between two stones 18 meters apart with closed eyes to determine their fortune in love.
The temple opens daily from 6:00 to 18:00, with extended hours until 21:30 during special events, and charges 500 yen for admission.
Three separate streams of the Otowa waterfall offer different benefits: longevity, academic success, or fortune in love, but drinking from all three indicates greed.
