Tennoji-Shitennoji Temple Compounds

Shitennoji is Japan's oldest state-supported temple, founded by Prince Shotoku in 593. The 'Shitennoji-style temple compound layout,' where the middle gate, five-story pagoda, main hall, and lecture hall are arranged in a straight line from south to north, represents the origin of Japanese Buddhist architecture. From the top floor of the five-story pagoda, you can overlook the Osaka cityscape. The main hall garden, known as the 'Pure Land Garden,' showcases beautiful seasonal changes throughout the year. Temple fairs are held on the 21st and 22nd of every month, bustling with antique and food stalls.
