Shitennoji

四天王寺

Shitennoji in Osaka is one of Japan’s oldest officially administered Buddhist temples, where centuries of history meet a calm, living place of worship — its buildings have been rebuilt over time but the site still exudes traditional charm. Visitors can stroll the tranquil grounds, observe temple rituals, and soak up the history that led to its postwar independence as the Wa sect.
