I can only agree with Maik, especially in the evening sunlight the pagoda is illuminated in red.

The widely visible pagoda of the "Kiyomizudera Temple" is one of the most beautiful photo opportunities in Kyoto.

Hiking

The walk to the pagoda is tough, too many people, and you can buy all kinds of souvenirs on the way. When you finally reach the top, you are rewarded with the temple, its buildings and an incredible view.
