Shitennoji Temple

Shitennoji ('Temple of the Four Kings') is the start of our temple tours since it is in the heart of Osaka.


Temple & Pagoda

This temple, like many temples in Japan, burnt down numerous times and was expensive to replace. The current temple is constructed in concrete, with all pieces molded to resemble the wooden parts. The scale of these building is impressive. The temple is still in use.

There are so many buildings here, it almost feels like a temple theme park
