Osaka🇯🇵Official temple worth visiting💕Shitennoji Temple

#Osaka Attractions Shitennoji Temple, the earliest Japanese Buddhist temple established by Prince Shotoku in 593, is also the oldest official temple in Japan. It is not only a hub of political diplomacy as a temple that protects the Buddhist world and the country, but also the birthplace of Japanese culture such as the art and craft industry. Later, the architectural model in which the central gate, five-story pagoda, golden hall, lecture hall, etc. are arranged in a straight line and surrounded by corridors on the outside is called the "Shitennoji style", and its model should be derived from China and the Korean Peninsula. Although the palace, pagoda, and temple have been destroyed many times by wars, fires, and natural disasters, they have been rebuilt each time, so they still retain the majestic appearance of the Asuka period when they were originally built, fully demonstrating the long history of this temple and its status in the hearts of Osaka people. Main points Five-Storied Pagoda: The temple’s iconic building, with its vermilion exterior walls and quaint green tile eaves complementing each other, is both magnificent and full of layers.
