Kiyomizu-dera Temple

Kiyomizu-dera Temple is a historic and iconic temple located in Kyoto, Japan. It was founded in 778 and has since become a popular tourist destination due to its stunning architecture and breathtaking views of the city. The temple is known for its wooden stage, which juts out from the main hall and offers panoramic views of the surrounding area. This makes it a popular spot for photography enthusiasts, who flock to the temple to capture the stunning scenery. Other popular photography locations at Kiyomizu-dera include the Otowa Waterfall, which is said to grant wishes to those who drink from its three streams, and the Jishu Shrine, which is dedicated to the god of love and matchmaking.
