Otowayama Kiyomizu-dera Temple was founded in 778. It dates back to about 1200 years ago. As a sacred place of Kannon, which symbolizes great mercy, it has been open to the common people since ancient times and loved by a wide range of people. Old history books and literature depict many people enjoying visiting Kiyomizu-dera Temple.
The 130,000-square-meter precincts stretch halfway up Mount Otowa in the east of Kyoto are lined with more than 30 temples and monuments, including national treasures and important cultural properties. Since its founding, the tower has been destroyed each time by a major fire exceeding 10 degrees Celsius, but it has been rebuilt many times due to devout faith. Most of the current cathedral was rebuilt in 1633. In 1994, it was registered as one of the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage "Cultural Assets of Ancient Kyoto".

Natural taiyaki is a baking method called "ichōyaki" in which each fish is carefully grilled. A sea bream grilling craftsman puts the dough and bean paste on a 2-kilogram baking mold, moves it around on the firebed, and grills it over an open fire.
For natural taiyaki made of carefully selected ingredients, "Tokachi Azuki", "Naruto Kintokiimo" and "Premium Custard" have become long-awaited staples. The nostalgic ice cream is delicious, and we also offer the hidden specialty "Ice Monaka" of Naruto Sea Bream Honpo.

In the Asuka period, in the early morning of March 18, the 36th year of Emperor Suiko (628), the brothers Hinokumae Hamanari and Takenari were fishing in Edoura (Sumida River) and unexpectedly sensed the statue of Kannon-sama. Goji Doshi Chuchi (there are various theories about the name) worshipped it, learned that he was a saint Kanseon Bodhisattva, and deeply took refuge, and then became a monk, rebuilt his home into a temple, and devoted his life to worship services.
In the first year of Dahua (645), Shokai Shōnin came to this area, built the Kannon-do Hall, and decreed the main statue as a secret Buddha by a dream confession, and since then this law of denbo has been strictly observed to this day.
