The "three-story pagoda" is about 30 meters tall. It is one of the largest three-story pagodas in Japan, and has long been a symbol of Kiyomizudera because it can be seen well from the city of Kyoto. It was founded in 847, and the current building was rebuilt in 1632 during the Edo period and is an important cultural property. "Otowa no Taki" is the origin of the founding of Kiyomizudera and the waterfall from which the temple was named. The clear water that flows vigorously has been called "golden water" and "water of longevity" since ancient times, and has been revered as water for purification. The clear water that flows into three streams is scooped up with a ladle and prayers are made for the purification of the six senses and the fulfillment of wishes. If you visit during the cherry blossom season, you can feel the beauty of Japan even more.
