Summer Night Special Visit (Sennichi Mairi)

About this event

Kiyomizudera's Summer Night Special Visit coincides with the Sennichi Mairi pilgrimage, opening the normally restricted inner sanctum of the main hall to the public. The temple is dramatically lit up against the summer night sky, and the famous wooden stage offers sweeping illuminated views over Kyoto. This is one of the most magical nights of the year to visit this iconic hillside temple.
