[Osaka] Let's visit Shitennoji Temple, a historical building in Osaka.

It was originally built by Prince Shotoku in the first year of the reign of Empress Suiko (593) as "Seyakuin," one of the four temples of Shitennoji Temple in Osaka. ✨ Seyakuin was established in accordance with Buddhist teachings and was a welfare facility where medicinal herbs were cultivated and given to people according to their illnesses. ✨ Later, Prince Shotoku lectured people on the Sutra of Mercy and enshrined a statue of Lady Srimala (Lady Victory) in the main hall, and so it came to be called "Shoman-in." In addition, the main hall is also known as "Aizen-do" because Aizen Myoo, who is famous for finding a good match and marital harmony, is enshrined as the main deity. 🪷 In the precincts, there is "Aizen no miraculous water" that is said to make love come true when you drink it, and it is popular among young women 👍✨ Every year on June 30th and July 1st and 2nd, the Aizen Festival, famous as one of the three major summer festivals in Osaka, is held 🪷 It is a very lively and solemn festival 🪷✨🪷 🔶5-36 Yuhigaoka-cho, Tennoji-ku, Osaka City 🚇2 minutes walk from "Shitennoji-mae Yuhigaoka Station" on the Osaka Metro Tanimachi Line #Osaka #Osaka trip #Slope tour #Shrine tour #Festival #Summer festival #Historic site #tripmemory2022
