S	Shingo Sae-Lim on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ (Trip was made back then on 5 Dec 2019, 2 years before the Covid-19 Pandemic hit) Kiyomizudera Temple was one of the autumn foliage sites we were hoping to visit but unfortunately by the time we arrived on 5 Dec 2019, the autumn season has just ended and most of the autumn leaves have already fallen, so the scenery wasn’t as spectacular. Mid-November would have been a better time for viewing but unfortunately we planned Kyoto as the mid-point of our trip. Nevertheless, the temple grounds was still a sight to behold. Would definitely visit again in future when we get the chance.
K	Kayo Tang on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A favorite temple for locals and young people who love trying Japanese kimono cosplay. We enjoyed surrounding by many young people in traditional elegance that was hard to find in other cities in Japan.
S	Saurabh on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Kiyomizudera literally translates to "Pure Water Temple", being one of the most popular temples in Japan, it was founded in the year 780 during Nara period (when Nara was the capital of Japan, ruled over by an empress). The current buildings in Kiyomizudera were constructed by Tokugawa Iemitsu from the Tokugawa Shogunate. This temple is one of the most important Buddhist temples in Japan and a part of Historic Monuments of Ancient Kyoto UNESCO world heritage sites. A popular expression "to jump off the stage at Kiyomizu" is assoicated with Kiyomizudera, referring to an Edo-period tradition saying that if one were to survive a 13-meter jump from the stage, one's wish would be granted. During the Edo period, 234 jumps were recorded, and of those, 85.4% survived, this practice was prohibited in 1872. Kiyomizudera is one of the most important places to visit in Kyoto, having beautiful foliage during Spring and especially during Autumn. Being located on the foothills of Mount Otowa, one can get a serene view of Kyoto and can even see the Kyoto tower on a clear day. The temple organizes special nigh illuminations during Autumn and Spring season so be sure to check out if you are in Kansai.
J	Jiwon Lee on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Beautiful temple with even better sunset view. After sun sets, lights are turned on to make it even more photogenic. The walk up and down the temple was a good exercise and the views paid off. But there were too many people packed in layers to take photos.
O	Omoroi Life on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ One of the most famous temples in Kyoto, this structure is a delight to enjoy with great views, but still with relatively easy access. But due to this fact, is extremely crowded during tourist seasons. Architecturally this temple is very interesting, as it was built extending off the mountain peak. The street leading up to the temple is filled with lots of great shops, with a variety of goods.
P	Pascal Jetté on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Beautiful temple, especially in the foliage season. It was undergoing renovations for several years before 2020 but it looks to have been fully restored. As it is one of the most popular attractions in Kyoto, do plan to go early morning, as soon as it opens at 9am. It’s a nice starting point for a day of sightseeing in Gion, etc.
n	n ! d z on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Beautiful during autumn. You can enjoy the scenic view at the top. Entrance fee is ¥800 for adults. It was crowded during weekend and despite the rainy weather. You can explore the bottom area of the temple for free. The entrance fee is applicable if you want to go to the very top.
P	Prabhash Muthumala on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Beautiful Buddhist temple located in Kyoto. Mind relaxing scenery. It’s called as one of powerful and sacred Temples in Japan. Because of its’ sacredness, if you visit during any time of the year it’s crowded. It’s amazing. Spring, summer , autumn ? and winter ❄️ you can enjoy the four kinds of sceneries at the same place. Awesomeness. Spiritual blessings. Blessed ?
