The Otawa Waterfall, which gave its name to the Kiyomizu-dera Temple, is located just below the large terrace of the main hall on the slope and flows in three streams. Each of the three is attributed a different meaning: health, longevity and success.

The Otowa Waterfall is located at the foot of the main hall of Kiyomizudera. The water is divided into three streams from which visitors drink with beakers attached to long poles. The water of each stream should have another benefit, namely longevity, school success and a happy love life. Drinking from all three streams, however, is considered greedy.
