Kiyomizu Temple is a sacred Buddhist temple that was founded in 778.
This world-famous temple is located in the Higashiyama district, the eastern part of Kyoto city.
Along with other historic landmarks and architecture in Kyoto, Kiyomizu Temple was officially added to the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites in 1994.
The Main Hall of Kiyomizu Temple is a beautiful wooden structure that was completed in 1633.
This symbolic building is designated as a National Treasure and features a huge wooden stage standing on the hillside of Mt. Otowa.
This wooden stage consists of surprisingly sturdy traditional Japanese architecture, and is made of only 78 pillars with zero nails or screws used!
