History
A renowned temple representing Kyoto, famous for the phrase 'jumping from Kiyomizu's stage.' Founded in 778, it has been a sacred site of Kannon for over 1,200 years, drawing the faith of countless people. The clear waters of Otowa Falls gave the temple its name, and these waters are believed to possess spiritual benefits, known as 'golden water' or 'water of eternal life.' The beautiful structures, registered as a World Heritage site, are truly symbols of Kyoto, with exceptional beauty in every season.

Tips
音羽の滝は3本の筧（学問成就・恋愛成就・延命長寿）があり、欲張らず1本だけ選んで飲むのが作法とされています。列が長いため素通りする人も多いですが、清水寺の名の由来となった霊水です。
境内に納経所が3ヶ所（本堂横・阿弥陀堂横・音羽の滝前）あり、いただける御朱印の種類が場所によって異なります。阿弥陀堂横は参拝ルートから外れるため見逃しやすく、比較的空いています。
午前10時以降は修学旅行の団体客が集中し、特に週末は境内が激混みになります。開門直後の6〜8時台に訪れると、静かな境内で本来の雰囲気を味わえます。
Visit Notes
Very busy because we went at 1:30pm, but still beautiful. Essentially has every experience a temple/shrine offers (omikuji, omamori, ema, etc.) but all in one place. You can even make your own omamori.
