The Kiyomizu-dera Temple Pilgrimage Mandala created in the first half of the 16 century depicts the pilgrimage route to Kiyomizu-dera Temple across the Kamo-gawa River and the precincts of the temple. At present, there are several roads leading to Kiyomizu-dera Temple, but when the Pilgrimage Mandala was drawn, the road leading to Kiyomizu-dera Temple from Gojo-bashi Bridge (Matsubara-bashi Bridge) through Gojo-dori Street (Matsubara-dori Street) was a pilgrimage road.
While the pilgrimage mandala depicts the same visitors as today — people clasping their hands at Buddhist statues, gazing at the scenery from the Kiyomizu stage, purifying themselves at Otowa Falls, and resting at a tea house in front of the temple
