Kiyomizu-dera (清水寺), formally Otowa-san Kiyomizu-dera (音羽山清水寺), is a Buddhist temple in eastern Kyoto. The temple is part of the Historic Monuments of Ancient Kyoto (Kyoto, Uji and Otsu Cities) UNESCO World Heritage site.[1]
The place is not to be confused with Kiyomizu-dera in Yasugi, Shimane, which is part of the 33-temple route of the Chūgoku 33 Kannon Pilgrimage through western Japan, or the Kiyomizu-dera temple associated with the Buddhist priest Nichiren.
History
Kiyomizu-dera circa 1880 by Adolfo Farsari
Kiyomizu-dera was founded in the early Heian period.[2] The temple was founded in 778 by Sakanoue no Tamuramaro, and its present buildings were constructed in 1633, ordered by the Tokugawa Iemitsu.[3] There is not a single nail used in the entire structure. It takes its name from the waterfall within the complex, which runs off the nearby hills. Kiyomizu means clear water, or pure water.[4][5]
It was originally affiliated with the old and influential Hossō sect dating from Nara times.[6] However, in 1965 it severed that affiliation, and its present custodians call themselves members of the "Kitahossō" sect.[7]
Present
The main hall has a large veranda, supported by tall pillars, that juts out over the hillside and offers impressive views of the city. Large verandas and main halls were constructed at many popular sites during the Edo period to accommodate large numbers of pilgrims.[8]
The popular expression "to jump off the stage at Kiyomizu" is the Japanese equivalent of the English expression "to take the plunge".[5] This refers to an Edo-period tradition that held that if one were to survive a 13-meter (43-foot) jump from the stage, one's wish would be granted. During the Edo period, 234 jumps were recorded, and of those, 85.4% survived.[5] The practice was prohibited in 1872.[5]
Beneath the main hall is the Otowa waterfall, where three channels of water fall into a pond. Visitors can catch and drink the water, which is believed to have wish-granting powers.
The temple complex includes several other shrines, among them the Jishu Shrine, dedicated to Ōkuninushi, a god of love and "good matches".[4] Jishu Shrine possesses a pair of "love stones" placed 10 meters (30 feet) apart,[9] which lonely visitors can try to walk between with their eyes closed. Success in reaching the other stone with their eyes closed implies that the pilgrim will find love, or true love.[10] One can be assisted in the crossing, but this is taken to mean that a go-between will be needed. The person's romantic interest can assist them as well.
The complex also offers various talismans, incense, and omikuji (paper fortunes). The site is particularly popular during festivals (especially at New Year's and during obon in the summer) when additional booths fill the grounds selling traditional holiday foodstuffs and souvenirs to throngs of visitors.[11]
In 2007, Kiyomizu-dera was one of 21 finalists for the New Seven Wonders of the World.,[12] but was not picked as one of the seven winning sites.

Красота ❤❤❤
Beautiful video
Это очень интересный и красивый видеоролик 💕 спасибо 🙏
Спасибо большое! Так хорошо передалась атмосфера! Как будто сам побывал в этих местах)
Красиво блин, так и хочется прогуляться, но увы облом))
Был в этом храме в 2014. Очень красивый. Ещё в Киото есть шикарный Фусими Инари. Да и вообще Киото прекрасен.
Главный павильон отреставрировали!... Ура!... Можно опять планировать поездку в Японию. Быть может, на момидзи в следующем году!
Невероятно мало народу - Киото запомнился из поездок толпами туристов (особенно из Азии) и пробками на дорогах. Хорошо если удавалось найти грамотного таксиста, который мог их быстро объехать...
Как-то сложилось впечатление, что в самом Киото система общественного транспорта не так удобна как в том же Токио или Осаке или других крупных городах.
Зато такси в Кансае относительно дешёвое, это и спасало...
Туристов действительно почти нет, тем более, границы снова закрыты.
В марте 2019 невозможно было пройти по этим улочкам 🤣 , а уж в храме вообще столпотворение было 🤣 Да, мечтаю посетить Киото без туристов🤩
Ну про Киото снимать это читерство) Живая история так сказать.
