Kiyomizu-dera is one of Japan's most celebrated temples, recognized as part of the Historic Monuments of Ancient Kyoto UNESCO World Heritage Site. It was founded in 780 on the site of the Otowa Waterfall, located in the wooded hills east of Kyoto, from which it derives its name. The temple is particularly famous for its wooden stage that extends from the main hall, standing 13 meters above the hillside.This stage offers stunning views of the numerous cherry and maple trees below, which explode in vibrant colors during the spring and fall, as well as of the city of Kyoto in the distance. The main hall, along with the stage, was constructed without the use of nails and houses the temple's primary object of worship, a small statue of the eleven-faced, thousand-armed Kannon.
Kinkaku-ji (Golden Pavilion）is a Zen Buddhist temple in Kyoto, Japan. A breathtaking UNESCO World Heritage site renowned for its dazzling golden exterior and serene gardens. The name Golden Pavilion is derived from the gold leaf that the pavilion is covered in. The gold employed was intended to mitigate and purify any pollution or negative thoughts and feelings toward death. The Golden Pavilion is a three-story building on the grounds of the Rokuon-ji temple complex. Each floor has a different architectural style. The pavilion successfully incorporates three distinct styles of architecture, which are shinden, samurai, and zen.
