A must see on your visit to Kyoto is the Kiyomizu-dera Temple which is on the UNESCO World Heritage List as a Historic Monument of Ancient Kyoto. It is internationally recognised as a place of exceptional and universal value. A cultural heritage site worthy of preservation for the benefit of all of mankind.

Kiyomizu-dera Temple originated in 778 when the monk Enchin enshrined an image of Kannon (the Goddess of mercy) on the mountain overlooking the Otowa-no-taki Falls. Later in 798, the distinguished general Sakanoue no Tamuramaro built a Buddha hall there, following which Kiyomizu-dera Temple came under the official patronage of Emperor Kanmu. Destroyed many times by fire over the centuries, it was rebuilt on each occasion.

Today, the principal temple buildings are the Saimon (West Gate), the three-storied pagoda, the Kyodo (Sutra Hall), the Tamurado (Founder’s Hall), the Todorokimon (Middle Gate), the Asakurado Hall, the Hondo (Main Hall), and the Amidado (Amida Buddha Hall), all aligned on an east-west axis. Around them are other temple buildings, including the Niomon (Gate of Deva Kings), the Umatodome (Hitching Stables), the Shoro (Belfry), the Shakado (Shakyamuni Hall), the Okunoin (Innermost Temple), the Koyasunoto Pagoda, the Chinjudo, and the Jishu Shrine, wherein is enshrined the local Shinto tutelary deity.

The Hondo, built in 1633, is the central building of the temple compound and is an example of kake-zukuri or “overhang” architecture. It is famous for its so called “Kiyomizudera stage,” an imposing veranda supported by a forest of tall wooden columns with wooden braces running through them crosswise and lengthwise. The building, which consists principally of the stone-floored sanctuary (naijin), which houses the temple’s primary Buddhist statue, and the plank-floored worship hall (gejin), is characterised below by its false roof (mokoshi) underneath the main roof, by its front hisashi (a narrow, roofed area), and by its flanking wings and its stage; and above by a framework supporting a Yosemune-style hip-ridged roof of hinoki, or cypress bark. This architectural form is handed down from the Heian period (794-1184).

In addition to its buildings, the eastern part of the temple compound also contains the Joju-in Garden containing the early Edo-period technique of “borrowed scenery” (shakkei).

Another temple down the hill is Rokuharamitsuji Temple.

This temple of the Shingon sect of Japanese Buddhism was founded by the monk Kuya in 951 to embody prayers for recovery from an epidemic. The temple’s main image, the Juichimen Kannon (a National Treasure), is said to have been carved by Kuya himself. The second son of the emperor Daigo, Kuya became a Buddhist monk at a young age and is known for his practice of repeating the name of the Buddha while dancing for joy. 1

Endowed with an expansive domain in the past, the temple occupies a central place among historical sites marking the events of the rise and decline of the Minamoto and Taira clans. It was the site of the Taira clan’s palace and accommodated a local representative of the Kamakura government known as a tandai. Among the treasures housed in Rokuharamitsuji’s Homotsukan are numerous important cultural properties, including the Jizo Bodhisattva (said to be the work of the sculptor Jocho), a statue of the monk Kuya and a seated statue of Taira-no-Kiyomori.

Famous events and festivals held at the temple every year include Obukucha (January 1 to 3), Mantoe (August), and the Kuya Dancing Nembutsu, a nationally designated lmportant lntangible Folk Cultural Property known as the “Hidden Nembutsu” (December).
