Kiyomizu-dera Temple

A gentle 8-minute stroll from The Hotel Seiryu leads you to Kiyomizu-dera, one of Kyoto’s most celebrated cultural treasures. Founded in 778 and nestled into the forested hillside, the temple offers more than just history. It offers a moment of stillness above the city.

Step onto the famed Kiyomizu Stage, a vast wooden veranda that floats above the trees. From here, the view opens to a sweeping panorama of Kyoto’s rooftops and distant mountains, a scene that has inspired poets and pilgrims for centuries.

Whether visited at dawn under morning mist or in autumn when the valley burns red with maple leaves, Kiyomizu-dera becomes not just a destination but part of your personal Kyoto story.
