Shitennoji Temple: A Millennium Temple Where Antiquity and Modernity Meet

Located in the center of Osaka, Shitennoji Temple is one of the oldest Buddhist temples in Japan and is said to have been founded by Prince Shotoku in 593. Although it has been rebuilt many times, it still retains the architectural style of the Asuka period. The magnificent five-story pagoda, stone torii and tranquil garden make people feel a strong historical atmosphere. The Pure Land Garden in the temple has different beautiful scenery in each season, and the cherry blossoms in spring and maples in autumn are particularly charming. When you visit this place, you can not only admire the traditional architecture, but also experience the tranquility that is rare in Osaka. The "Prince Festival" on the 21st of every month is extremely lively, attracting countless believers and tourists. Compared to the bustling streets of Osaka, Shitennoji Temple presents a completely different cultural outlook and is an ideal place for history lovers and spiritual seekers. #Osaka Attractions
