Muza-chan's Gate to Japan

Kyoto Kiyomizu-dera Koyasu pagoda

Sun, December 20, 2015, by Muza-chan
Recently, the renovation works were finished for the second three-storied pagoda of the famous Kiyomizu-dera Temple. Built in 1633, the pagoda is dedicated to Koyasu Kannon, a goddess who grants safe delivery of children.

The pagoda is located up the hill, quite far from the main hall, but there is a legend saying that the pregnant women who are climbing here will have a safe and easy childbirth...
