Shitennoji Temple, located in Osaka, is one of Japan's oldest temples founded in 593 by Prince Shotoku. It was the first temple built by the state and has been reconstructed over the centuries to maintain its original 6th-century design. Visitors can explore the inner precinct with a five-storied pagoda and Main Hall, as well as the Gokuraku-jodo Garden and treasure house displaying valuable temple belongings. Don't miss out on this historical gem when in Osaka!
