From the hill on which stands the "Taisanji Temple" with the "Koyasu Pagoda", one has a great view of the "Kiyomizudera Temple". Unfortunately, the main hall is still being restored, which of course is not so nice for taking pictures. But this site will eventually be finished: o)

The Koyasu Pagoda is a distinct, three-story vermilion pagoda located in the far southern part of the Kiyomizu-dera temple grounds, often nestled amongst the trees. While much of the temple is famous for its views, this particular structure is celebrated for its deep cultural significance, as it is dedicated to Kannon, specifically venerated as the goddess who grants safe and easy childbirth. Historically, it was a common and essential stop for expectant mothers who would visit and pray within the pagoda to ensure a healthy delivery, a tradition that continues to this day.
