京都は、本州中央の関西地方にある京都府の主要な都市です。794年に朝廷が平安京に移されて以来、1868年に首都が東京に移るまで日本の帝都として機能し、その都市の形態や文化を形成しました。市内には清水寺、鳥居の道で知られる伏見稲荷大社、金閣寺(二条城)、そしてかつての徳川将軍の居城である二条城などの名所があり、多くはユネスコの世界遺産「古都京都の文化財」に登録されています。 京都は鴨川と桂川が流れる盆地に位置し、芸妓の芸で知られる祇園などの地区を含みます。祇園祭のような祭りや強力な大学コミュニティが、日本の歴史、宗教、学問における京都の役割を支えています。

Kiyomizu-dera (Japanese: 清水寺; literally "Pure Water Temple") is a renowned Buddhist temple situated in the eastern part of Kyoto, Japan. Founded in 778, it is affiliated with the Kita-Hosso sect of Japanese Buddhism. The temple is famous for its striking wooden stage that juts out from the main hall, offering breathtaking views of the cherry and maple trees below, as well as the city of Kyoto in the distance. The temple’s principal object of worship (honzon) is a hibutsu, or "hidden Buddha" statue, which is traditionally kept out of public view to preserve its sacredness. Kiyomizu-dera is not only a significant religious site but also a cultural treasure, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, attracting millions of visitors each year who come to experience its historic architecture, serene atmosphere, and stunning natural surroundings.

As a Tendai Buddhist temple situated on the mountainside in Nishikyo, Kyoto, Yoshimine‑dera traces its history back to 1029 when the monk Gensan from Enryaku‑ji carved an eleven‑faced Kannon statue and built a small chapel here. Over the centuries the temple gained imperial patronage, receiving additional buildings and another Kannon statue and becoming the 20th temple on the Saigoku Kannon Pilgrimage. Though much of the complex was destroyed during the 15th‑century Ōnin War, it was rebuilt in the Edo period. Today Yoshimine‑dera is known for its terraced grounds with numerous halls, its famous “Gliding Dragon” pine tree trained to grow horizontally, and seasonal flowers such as hydrangeas and autumn maples.
