Hiking

The terrace and the main hall are no longer closed off, and you can walk around the area unhindered. If you want to enter the most sacred area, the top level, you have to take off your shoes.

Hiking

The main hall of the Kiyomizudera Temple is known for its large terrace built into the steep slope. The wooden structure was built without the use of nails.

At the moment, the main hall can only be partially visited and the terrace is closed.
