清水寺は法相宗（南都六宗の一）系の寺院で、広隆寺、鞍馬寺とともに、平安京遷都以前からの歴史をもつ、京都では
数少ない寺院の1つである。また、石山寺（滋賀県大津市）、長谷寺（奈良県桜井市）などと並び、日本でも有数の観音
霊場であり、鹿苑寺（金閣寺）、嵐山などと並ぶ京都市内でも有数の観光地として有名である

The popular expression "to jump off from the stage at Kiyomizu" is the Japanese equivalent of English expression
"to take the plunge. " This refers to an Edo-period tradition that held that if one were to survive a 13-meter jump
from the stage, one's wished would be granted. During the Edo period, 234 jumps were recorded, and of those,
85.4% were survived. The practice is now prohibited. Beneath the hall is the Otowa waterfall, where three
channels of water fall into a pond. Visitors can catch and drink the water, which is believed to have wish-granting
powers.

The reroofing work of the Main Hall, which began in February 2017, was completed at the end of 2019 and
the scaffolding structure that had enveloped the Main Hall was removed in February 2020. Thanks to your
understanding for the extended inconvenience during the repair period, the roof of the Main Hall has now been
completely restored with new hinoki (Japanese cypress) bark thatch for the first time in 50 years.
