Kiyomizu-dera (清水寺) is a Buddhist temple located in the city of Isumi in Chiba Prefecture, Japan.
According to an alternate reading of the name in Japanese, the temple is also referred to as Seisui-ji, and is commonly known as the Kiyomizu Kannon.
According to legend, Kiyomizu-dera was founded in the Heian period by Sakanoue no Tamuramaro, the first shōgun.
Sakanoue no Tamuramaro, closely associated with the construction of Kiyomizu-dera in Kyoto, reputedly built the Isumi temple as a replica of the well-known Kyoto temple of the same name.
The present hon-dō (Main Hall) was reconstructed between 1688 and 1703.
