Quioto é uma cidade importante na Prefeitura de Quioto, na região de Kansai, no centro de Honshu. Serviu como capital imperial do Japão desde 794, quando a corte se mudou para Heian-kyo, até 1868, quando a capital foi transferida para Tóquio, moldando sua forma urbana e cultura. A cidade possui marcos como o templo Kiyomizu-dera, o santuário Fushimi Inari Taisha com seus caminhos de portões torii, Kinkaku-ji (o Pavilhão Dourado) e o Castelo Nijo, antiga residência do xogum Tokugawa; muitos estão agrupados no Patrimônio Mundial da UNESCO "Monumentos Históricos da Antiga Quioto." Quioto está situada em uma bacia atravessada pelos rios Kamo e Katsura e inclui distritos como Gion, conhecido pelas artes das gueixas. Festivais como o Gion Matsuri e uma forte comunidade universitária sustentam seu papel na história, religião e aprendizado japoneses.

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.
