Otowa no Taki, located at Kiyomizu-dera, is the site from which the temple derives its name, with its waters cascading down from Otowa Mountain. The waterfall splits into three streams, each believed to bring different blessings: one for health, another for academic success, and the last for love. Visitors can choose which stream to drink from using a ladle, and it is said that their wishes will come true by doing so. The water of this waterfall is revered as "sacred water" and has long been known as a source of longevity. Kiyomizu-dera was founded in 778, and Otowa no Taki has been an important part of its history, serving as a place of prayer for monks. Due to the purity of its water, the waterfall became a symbol of faith, attracting many people seeking blessings since the Edo period. Even today, Otowa no Taki remains an essential spot for both worshippers and tourists. Many visitors hold high expectations for the water, believing that drinking it will fulfill their wishes. However, it is important to be considerate of others and to observe proper manners when visiting. In this way, Otowa no Taki is deeply connected to the history and faith of Kiyomizu-dera, and its sacred waters continue to hold special significance for many people today.
