The Perfect 7-Day Japan Itinerary (Updated 2025)

"Established in 778 with most existing buildings from the 17th century, Kiyomizu-dera (“pure water temple”) is famous for a large wooden terrace that juts out over the hillside (constructed without a single nail) and for a nearby waterfall whose waters are said to have wish-granting and healing powers that you can still drink today." - Matthew Kepnes
