Kiyomizu-dera, Buddhist temple in Yasugi, Japan.

The temple complex includes a main hall, a three-story pagoda, and multiple buildings scattered across mountain slopes surrounded by dense forests.

Established in 587 during the Asuka period, Kiyomizu-dera suffered damage in the Battle of Amago-Mori before undergoing restoration in the Edo period.

The temple maintains a sacred flame for over 1400 years and functions as the 28th temple of the Chugoku Kannon Pilgrimage circuit.

Visitors can participate in sutra copying and meditation sessions from April to November, with guidance available between 9:00-12:00 and 14:00-16:00.

The three-story pagoda, constructed in the late Edo period, stands as the only structure of its kind in the San'in region.
