First of all, I would like to introduce Kiyomizu-dera Temple, which is the center of this article, as the biggest tourist attraction. Kiyomizu-dera is another tourist attraction in Kyoto that is very well known throughout Japan. "As the phrase "jumping off the stage at Kiyomizu "" is used, the main hall is located at a very high place and the view is outstanding. It is possible to see the entire landscape of Kyoto Prefecture. In particular, the height of buildings in Kyoto Prefecture is restricted, so you can see far into the distance. There is also a lot of nature in the surrounding area, so please enjoy the retro and serene scenery unique to Kyoto, the ancient capital of Japan.

A place of interest where Kyoto's long history can be felt from every corner of the city!
