The “Amida Hall” of Kiyomizu-dera Temple is a small but historically important building located on the west side of the main hall. The main deity of this hall is Amida Nyorai, and it is closely associated with the Pure Land faith in particular. The present Amida Hall was rebuilt in 1633, and its beautiful structure is a testament to the architectural techniques of the Edo period. The Amida Hall was considered important as a place to recite the Amida Buddha as the Pure Land faith spread from the Muromachi period onward. The hall serves as a sacred place for visitors to Kiyomizu-dera Temple to experience the mercy of Amida Nyorai. Inside the hall is a statue of the Amida Nyorai, said to be from the Kamakura period. The statue is characterized by its graceful and serene expression, and is a perfect representation of the compassion of the Amitabha Nyorai.
