    The Japanese proverb “jumping off the stage at Kiyomizu” means “to take a risk,” and the temple's iconic wooden stage, dramatically extending over the hillside, brings this saying to life. The stage of the UNESCO-listed temple, which was built without using a single nail and is supported by 139 pillars, boasts a wide view overlooking Kyoto and the beautiful surrounding nature. You can also drink from one of the three rejuvenating streams of Otowa Waterfall, said to bring success, love, and longevity. This temple is famous for the cherry blossoms in spring and the foliage in autumn.
