Perched on the slopes of Mount Otowa, Kiyomizu-dera offers an unforgettable experience. The walk to the temple is part of the adventure, as you'll ascend through the charming, historic streets of the Higashiyama district for about 10 to 20 minutes to reach the entrance. Once there, you'll be rewarded with the iconic wooden stage, built without a single nail, which provides breathtaking panoramic views of Kyoto. Don't miss the Otowa Waterfall, where you can drink from one of the three streams, each said to grant a different blessing. The admission fee for adults is 500 yen.
