Shitennō-ji
Shitennō-ji (四天王寺) is a famous Buddhist temple in Osaka.
Originally built in 593, most of the current buildings are from 1963 when it was rebuilt.
As you'd expect, it's beautiful and peaceful.
Unfortunately, the famous pagoda was surrounded by scaffolding so I posted my only photo of that last week.
We did climb the pagoda but photos weren't allowed inside. Nevertheless this amazing place was a highlight of our visit to Osaka.
