What other travelers are saying about Tachibana-dera Temple
Asuka in itself is beautiful but this temple was really serene. Had the chance to go on a day that isn’t crowded at all, although we had a couple of other elderly Japanese tourists with us who were really fascinated by the place too. It’s 400 yen per adult. They can give you an English map and guide too. Rest station and Washroom are all nicely kept and clean. The area is really beautiful, I have no other words.
Temple connected to Prince Shotoku. A beautiful Japanese temple with multiple halls with decorations and painting on ceilings. The garden is also worth visiting depending on seasons.
Piękna i spokojna świątynia ze ślicznymi sakurami. Wejście kosztuje 350 jenow. Very beautiful and quiet temple. Sakura trees look amazing when in full bloom. It costs 350 yen to enter. This place is connected with history of Shotoku Prince from VII century.
Visited on 2025.4.2.
I visited during a light rain and it was a quiet place.
The cherry blossoms are also in full bloom.
There is a free parking lot at the entrance of the temple.
Admission fee is 400 yen.
The place where Prince Shotoku was born.
Were you born in a temple? At that time, it was a separate palace for Emperor Kinmei.
Prince Shotoku was the child of the fourth prince, Tachibana no Toyohi no Mikoto, and Princess Anahobe no Hashihito no Himemiko.
I learned for the first time that he was from the prince's family.
Inside the temple, there is a stonework from the Asuka period called Nimen-ishi, which is said to represent the good and evil of a person's heart.
The expression of that era is unique and I like it.
Ojoin also has a wonderful ceiling painting that you can admire while lying down.
The view from the veranda is also quiet and peaceful.
