Kiyomizu-dera Temple

It's a temple perched on the side of a mountain. It was first built in 798 but the buildings that are visited now have been reconstructed from 1633. It forms part of the Hosso Buddhist school and is one of Kyoto's most famous landmarks. It is impressive to see the large terrace that stands out among the trees and supports hundreds of wooden columns. For the views it offers, this temple really can't be missed.
