Kiyomizu-dera
Temple
A hillside temple whose great wooden stage juts out over the maples, with the whole of Kyoto spread out below — the city's most photographed view.
The forest garden it stands in was tended for years by a previous owner who meant to build a textile museum there; the site runs to about 320,000 square metres.
