Kiyomizu-dera Temple, Japan



Kiyomizu-dera is an independent Buddhist temple in eastern Kyoto. The temple is part of the Historic Monuments of Ancient Kyoto (Kyoto, Uji and Otsu Cities) UNESCO World Heritage site. Not one nail is used in the whole temple. The temple is part of the 33-temple route of the Chugoku 33 Kannon Pilgrimage through western Japan, which is still traced by worshippers today.
