Is a very famous temple, not only in Kyoto city but throughout Japan.

Kiyomizu-dera Temple
This temple is well known for it’s large hanging platform from a mountain edge. The expression “take the plunge at Kiyomizu-dera” that this temple is famously known for comes from this platform. It does not mean that people should be jumping off the temple’s platform but it urges people to follow their dreams and goals.
