==Legacy==
Numerous monuments, memorials, and historical markers associated with Kiyomori can be found across Japan. Some areas, such as the Ondo neighborhood within [[Kure]] City, [[Hiroshima prefecture]], honor Kiyomori with annual festivals. The Ondo Kiyomori Matsuri celebrates his construction efforts in the [[Inland Sea]], and though it originated in ''[[nenbutsu odori]]'' dances meant to appease the spirit of Kiyomori, the festival eventually came to incorporate a reenactment of an [[Edo period]] ''[[sankin kotai|sankin kôtai]]'' daimyô procession as well.<ref>Gallery labels, Ondo Kankô Bunka Kaikan Uzushio tourist information center, Ondo, Kure, Hiroshima.[https://www.flickr.com/photos/toranosuke/36892017951/sizes/k/]</ref>
