Make the most of Kiyomizu-dera Temple without baggage!
Known as Kyoto’s “Pure Water Temple,” Kiyomizu-dera (or Kiyomizudera) is one of the most revered Buddhist temples in the world. It’s situated in the foothills of the mountains east of central Kyoto and has a magnificently beautiful waterfall in the backdrop. Its most notable feature has to be the wooden platform that provides stunning views of the surrounding topography, especially the hills covered in thick groves of cherry trees that are impossibly beautiful during cherry blossom season.
Without question, this place is well-deserving of its UNESCO World Heritage Site designation. It’s important to remember that this temple is first and foremost a place of worship and contemplation, so observing proper customs and etiquette is advisable and respectful. If you’re also looking to explore Kiomizu Dera, the various other temple buildings, and Kyoto City Center, luggage storage makes sense. There are plenty of major landmarks and attractions in Kyoto, which translates to Capital City. Kyoto Imperial Palace and Kyoto Tower are just a few, along with an exceptional restaurant scene - especially the tea houses.
The city is situated just a short train ride away from Kiyomizu Gojo Station, which sits at the base of the hill and connects the temple with the rest of Kyoto and beyond. You’ll be able to rely on convenient Kyoto luggage storage through Bounce for both exploring the city and visiting the temple.
Kiyomizu-dera provides the best of both worlds in terms of its easy access to the rest of Kyoto and the remote feel of its hillside surroundings. You can get to the temple in less than 30 minutes from most parts of Kyoto through the efficient public transportation network of the city. It will involve a walk uphill for most visitors, so planning ahead with proper footwear and arranging for luggage storage is advisable.
Kiyomizu Gojo Station is situated a 20-minute walk from the temple buildings and connects Kiyomizu-dera with JR Kyoto Station, and by extension, the rest of the city and Osaka as well.
Kyoto’s city buses are remarkably efficient for getting around, and there are a few routes serving the Gojo zaka bus stop or Kiyomizu-Michi bus stop that are just a 10-minute (uphill) walk to the temple.
From Kansai International Airport (serving both Kyoto and Osaka), you can reach Kiyomizu-dera in just under 90 minutes via the Airport Limousine Bus through Kyoto Station. You can also take the JR Haruka Line from the airport to Kyoto Station and transfer to the #206 bus if you have the JR Rail Pass and want to save money.
Heading to this bucket-list temple? Bounce can take care of the bags so you can get the quintessential experience - just don't forget your camera to capture the beautiful cherry blossoms if you travel in the spring. And if you're looking to explore Kyoto or Osaka, you'll be able to rely on dozens of different luggage storage locations in these epic travel destinations.
