Kiyomizu-dera, Buddhist temple in Hanamaki, Japan

The temple structure features a central hall dedicated to Kannon, with traditional wooden architecture housing an eleven-faced statue of the deity.

Founded in the eighth century, Kiyomizu-dera Temple underwent significant reconstruction in 1633 under the direction of shogun Tokugawa Iemitsu.

The temple serves as a spiritual center where visitors practice meditation and prayer before the statue of Kannon, reflecting on gratitude and self-awareness.

Visitors can access the temple grounds through multiple transportation routes, with dedicated parking spaces and walking paths leading to the main entrance.

The temple conducts annual Goma-ku ceremonies, where priests perform rituals involving fire offerings for peace and community well-being.
