Kiyomizu Temple is a popular tourist destination in Kyoto. It is a UNESCO World Heritage site, and offers some spectacular views in all seasons. Built in 1633, the temple remains a great piece of history. In the spring, Kiyomizu Temple features a cherry blossom light-up at night, which is a truly beautiful event. It can get crowded, but the views are worth it.
