Shitennō-ji
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shitennō-ji (四天王寺?) is a Buddhist temple in Osaka, Japan.
The prince Shotoku constructed this temple in 593, using the construction firm Kongō Gumi. It is the oldest officially administered temple in Japan, although the temple buildings have been rebuilt over the centuries.
It is also home to a major flea market on the 21st of each month.
Access to Shitennoji is via a 10 minute walk from Tennoji Station, on the JR, Midosuji and Tannimachi train lines.
