What are people saying about Kiyomizu-dera Temple

A shinto shrine & a Buddhist temple and hall.
Momo was excellent as our guide.
Unfortunately the timing of the tour meant that we got to Kiyomizu-dera at 4.30pm (dusk) and it was dark by the time we left. The autumn foliage could not be seen. The view of Kyoto was a night time shot. A rush up & down the hill from the car park despite a stop of 70 minutes.
Fushimi-inari was excellent though a long walk from the car park. Sanjusangen-do was fascinating.

This is a great tour to hit the major sites that are out of the Gion area.
This is a great tour to hit the major sites that are out of the Gion area. The guide was very friendly and spoke English well. Nice bus. Any tour like this requires a lot of fast walking, but this wasn't too bad.

Excellence Personified
Excellent information from guide. Well worth the reasonable cost. Learn things about Kyoto you just wouldn't get from a gyidebook.

Learning about religion and history in this tour
My experience on this tour was fantastic, Robert told us about history and the mitology of japan, someone from the group also participated doing part of the ritual to find the right person in one of the temples, I highly recommend this tour

Excellent
Excellent tour and guide who was very knowledgeable. Sufficient time given at each of the six sites covered in spite of rain. The lunch was also good and one of my friends was a vegetarian which was looked into.

Love this tour!
Not an huge fan of group bus tour but our guide KC from JTB was exceptional! On a very hot 40c++ day 😅 he took great care of the group. Asked each of us often if we were okay due to risk of potential heat stroke (really). He was funny, cheerful and attentive. Plus while I expected to see only 3 sights we saw more than 5 areas…..an interesting jam-packed experience. The highlight being Sanjusangen-do Temple with 1000 Kannon statues. Breathtaking! Highly recommended!

When to visit

Although the temple is part way up Mount Otowa, it is fully wheelchair accessible, with no-step paths and special vehicle access via the emergency road entrance to save climbing the steps.
The temple grounds are large, with 30 buildings and gardens to stroll through. While it’s possible to visit quickly, if you’re trying to see many highlights of Kyoto in a short time, it’s also worth spending a couple of hours here.
There is a small admission charge.
