• Rengeoin Sanjusangendo

  Sanjusangendo known as the "Hall of 33 Bays." The original temple was built in around 1164 and survived only about a hundred years. What you see today is a reconstruction which is still very old as it dates from the thirteenth century.
  
  Its centrepiece is a ornate wood statue of the seated Kannon Bodhisattva. 3.3 m (11 f0 high, with 11 faces on the crown of its head and 40 arms (extravagantly known as "a thousand arms") wielding bells, wheels, and lotus flowers.
  
  However Sanjusangendo's main wonder is its legion of 1.000 gilded Kannon images flanking the central Buddha. The identical statues were carved by the 13th-century masters Kokei, Unkei. and Tankei, with 70 assistants.

• Kiyomizu-dera

  Kiyomizu temple is one of Kyoto's oldest, is so popular that on Sundays it offers all the serenity of rush hour at Kyoto's garish new station. But don't let that put you off.
  
  Founded in 788 just before the city entered its golden age as the imperial capital its numerous buildings nestle lovingly against steep Mt. Higashiyama in a dramatic cascade of thatched and tiled roofs. However, most of what we see today is actually a 17th-century reconstruction of the original 8th-century structure.
  
  With its numerous buildings set within extensive grounds Kiyomizu’s main attraction is the hondo (main hall). This elevated structure’s projecting wooden terrace is supported by a vast arrangement of 139 massive interlocking beams.
  
  Across on the mountainside is another terrace on which imperial courtiers and dignitaries would sit, while enjoying dance performance and music recitals on the hondo’s broad terrace.

  A must go place. National treasures. Spiritual and beautiful place! It's a place where you can go "aww" and want to go back the line and admire the statues all over again. I went to more than 15 temples and Shrines in Kyoto and this is the most distinguished. Totally recommended. No photos inside the hall though, but I left with the 1000 yen photo books and some amulets. Felt amazing!
• Chris Spurlock
  Very beautiful grounds and it is definitely worth a walk through the temple to see the numerous Buddhas. There's supposedly 1,000 of them and I'll be honest, I didn't count. But, there were definitely a lot of them and it was interesting seeing how they were all unique. It does cost to get in and you are not allowed to take pictures inside (and you have to take off your shoes, in case you care about that) but it's definitely worth all of that. The grounds themselves are beautiful as well.
• Andreina Ariyanti
  So many statues with explanation below them. Taking pictures inside the building is not allowed, but you can do it in the outside. Why? Because there are garden and pond, it's so beautiful on the autumn.
• Erik Wilhelm Gren
  I have been here twice now and I must honestly say that it is definitely worth a visit. However, concidering the rather expensive pricing and compared to what you expect from other shrines in the area in the same price range, I can see how this place might be a disappointment for some visitors. The statues are indeed spectacular, but once the statues have been seen there isn't really much more to the shrine.
• Michael Hobbs
  The outside was only beautiful for us because of the time of day and time of year (late afternoon, autumn). But the inside... wow. Unfortunately you can't take any pictures on the inside, but it's still amazing to see. Worth the walk through.
