Explore the ancient temple of a thousand years｜Meet the first Shitennoji Temple in Japan✨

#Osaka Transportation Guide "Shitennoji, the First Buddhist Temple in Japan" Transportation Guide In 593 AD, Prince Shotoku founded Shitennoji, the oldest official temple in Japan, which is like the "White Horse Temple in Luoyang" of Japanese Buddhism, carrying a thousand-year Buddhist affinity. Buddhism originated in India, and was introduced to China through the Western Regions, and then to Fusang in the east. As a major foreign trade center in Japan, Osaka naturally became the first stop for the spread of Buddhism to the east. Under the baptism of time, the temple has experienced wars and many buildings have been destroyed. Until 1957, the five-story pagoda and the Golden Hall restored the solemn appearance of the Asuka era. You need to take off your shoes to climb the tower, but the scenery on the top floor may not be the point - the piety of stepping on the wooden steps is more like a silent dialogue with a thousand years of history. The temple adopts a semi-open design, and you can visit it for free outside the core area. You can feel the strong atmosphere of life while walking around. Occasionally, you can see local elders sitting in the courtyard or children playing on the stone steps. The solemnity of Buddhism and the worldly life coexist harmoniously here. If you want to appreciate the murals of the Golden Hall and the Buddha statues of the Asuka period, you can buy a ticket to enter the main hall. The ticket price is very affordable and sincere. This ancient temple, which witnessed the starting point of Japanese Buddhism, is not only a treasure of architectural art, but also like an open history book, waiting for travelers to read the first chapter of the Buddhist fate of Japan with their footsteps. #旅游 #旅行 #外外旅游 #外外旅行 #日本旅游 #日本 #日本旅行 #日本 #日本旅行 #島国 #東瀛 #日本国
