Kiyomizu Temple

The “Stage of Kiyomizu”

The “Stage of Kiyomizu” is in front of the main hall of Kiyomizu-Temple.
The height of the stage overhanging from the main hall is about 13 meters, which is equivalent to a four-story building.This stage is a place for dedicating performing arts to the Kannon Bodhisattva, and traditional Japanese performing arts have been performed in this place.
Making a bold decision is called “jumping off the stage of Kiyomizu”, but in the Edo period, many people actually jumped off, so a ban on jumping was issued by Kyoto Prefecture.
In December 2020, the stage renovation work was completed.

It was built in 847, but the current pagoda was rebuilt in 1632. It enshrines the statue of Dainichi Nyorai and is designated as an important cultural property.
