Kiyomizu Temple
Kiyomizu Temple was founded in 587AD.
The main deity is the 11-headed Kannon, who many people believe has the power to drive out evil spirits. As such, people who are said to be in their unlucky year come and pray here.
The main symbol of the temple is the three-storey pagoda, the only one in the San-in region of Japan.
The name Kiyomizu means pure water, and a mountain stream flows along the moss-covered stone steps on the long approach.

Along the way is Iwa-fudo-san, the immovable stone deity.
He watches over people coming to worship and drives away evil.
Near the top a statue of Kannon awaits the worshippers, welcoming them to the temple with her serene presence.
