Sorotan utama
- Main Hall and «Kiyomizu Stage» — National Treasure, built without nails using kakezukuri stilt construction, with a 13 m drop overlooking Kyoto and the cherry/maple canopy
- Three-Story Pagoda (Sanjunoto) — 31 m vermilion pagoda, an iconic Kyoto frame paired with cherry blossoms and autumn foliage
- Niomon and West Gate — vivid two-tier vermilion gates at the top of the Sannenzaka and Ninenzaka approach; the West Gate at sunset is unforgettable
- Otowa Falls — the «sound-of-feathers» triple stream that gave the temple its name; each thread offers a different blessing (study, love, longevity)
- Jishu Shrine — the «matchmaking» shrine behind the main hall, famous for jishu-zakura cherry trees; closed for renovation through 2025
