About this Shrine

Located in the heart of Kyoto, Kiyomizu-dera Temple is one of Japan's most famous Shinto shrines and UNESCO World Heritage Site. Dedicated to the deity Kashima-san, the temple complex features a wooden stage protruding over the valley below, offering breathtaking views of the city. The current main hall was rebuilt in 1633 during the Edo period, but the shrine's origins date back to the Heian era.

Kashima-san, the primary deity enshrined at Kiyomizu-dera, is a Shinto kami associated with prosperity, good fortune, and protection. The shrine is also famous for its traditional festivals, including the Kasama Festival, which takes place in September and features elaborate costumes and performances.
