Shitennoji Temple - Osaka

Shitennoji Temple was founded ~1,400 years ago. It is the first and therefore, the oldest, officially established Buddhist temple in Japan. Although the wooden structures have been destroyed repeatedly through the centuries by fire and war, the buildings have been reconstructed as they were in the 6th century.
