~ Kiyomizu-dera Temple in Kyoto
Kiyomizu-dera is a Buddhist temple in eastern Kyoto. The temple is part of the Historic Monuments of Ancient Kyoto UNESCO World Heritage site.Not one nail is used in the whole temple.

The temple dates back to 798, and its present buildings were constructed in 1633. It takes its name from the waterfall within the complex, which runs off the nearby hills. Kiyomizu means clear water, or pure water.

The main hall has a veranda, supported by tall pillars, that juts out over the hillside and offers impressive views of the city.
