Located in eastern Kyoto, Kiyomizu-dera is an independent Buddhist temple. It means clear or pure water and got its name from a waterfall present in the temple complex. It was established in the Heian period and is a part of the Historic Monuments of Ancient Kyoto UNESCO World Heritage site. The temple was originally founded in 778 and the buildings that can be seen here today were constructed in 1633. The USP of this beautiful temple is that not a single nail has been used in its construction. The construction of the temple is pretty impressive and there is a main hall with a huge veranda that is projected over the hillside and gives one impressive city views. The best time to visit the temple is during the time of festivals and New Year as during that time the temple grounds are filled with local shops selling holiday goodies and souvenirs.<\/p>\n
