Kiyomizu-dera Temple

The Kiyomizu-dera – or Pure Water – Temple is a Kyoto must-see. Pilgrims have been flocking to this sacred site since the 8th century, so the steep path up is lined with souvenir stalls and snack stands. In spring, it looks out over a sea of pink cherry blossom, while autumn provides picture-perfect panoramas of flame-coloured maple trees.

    Like anyone will tell you, make sure you go EARLY so you can beat the crowds. I went at about 8 or 9 AM just before a really big tourist crowd came in and I was able to see the temple and walk around fine. It is beautiful and you can get really nice views of the whole city from up there.

    If you can visit the temple in June or Autumn, you'll have really great views. Always respect the temple surroundings and be silent. Other than that, you can enjoy a wonderful place made entirely without any nails. Also, you can walk the path next to the temple to get other unique views.

    best to wear comfortable shoes as this is a bit of hike.

    best to wear comfortable shoes as this is a bit of hike. best to approach this place from yazaka area the go thru the park towards ninenzaka and sanenzaka. these two streets have lots of small traditional shops which you can also explore. we had lunch in sannenzaka area and a tea experience is also worth around that place. so many snack area along the way and many visitors wear kimonos. best to visit during autumn or spring season

    The temple was completely different in person than I expected. I thought the main deck faced the city, but it actually faces to the side, which makes for a great shot with the city in the background. I loved it!! It was stunning and really fun to walk around. The area to walk around was much bigger than I expected as well.

    If staying nearby definitely worth being up there to see Kyoto at night just on closing 6pm. But return again before 7am the next morning as the serenity is amazing. Temples without crowds are the only way to go if it is manageable

    I love Kiyomizu-dera not for the temple itself but for the surrounding areas, it transports you back into the Edo period and it shouldn't be missed! Make sure to allocate enough time to check out the area around Kiyomizu e.g Ninenzaka & Sannenzaka

    Property was easy to find and is in great location. Walking distance to famous tourist locations like Sannenzaka/Ninenzaka and Kiyomizu-dera temple. Hotel is clean and the staff were very polite, friendly and helpful. Really enjoyed using their washing machines. Room was cosy. I would stay here again if I am visiting Gion!

    Absolutely lovely hotel, and a great introduction to Kyoto. Walkable distance to some great spots, such as the Kyoto National Museum and the Kiyomizu-dera temple. The staff were very friendly and the room was small but comfy and exactly what we expected. Facilities were wonderful too. We just wish we had spent more than two nights here!

    I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at The Gate Hotel Kyoto Takasegawa by Hulic. The facilities were modern and impeccably clean, and the staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful throughout our visit. The hotel's location was incredibly convenient, within walking distance to popular tourist attractions like Kiyomizu-dera Temple. Additionally, the lounge area provided complimentary snacks and drinks, and we were pleasantly surprised by the free performance organized by the hotel during our stay.
