What other travelers are saying about Shitenno-ji Temple
It's very quiet compared to the other shrines/temples in the country and was an awesome experience.
There's a lot of history behind it and very peaceful temples within the complex. There's an entry fee but it's not crowded. The main temple is wonderful.
You can climb to the top of the tower up a narrow staircase.
Beautiful and well maintained Buddhist shrine and temple. The tower at the center can be visited (without shoes) but I was a bit disappointed by its content.
The rest of the buildings contains wonderful idols of Buddha and well decorated walls.
Worth the entrance fees, be beware, your ticket only gives you access to one site out of the 3 printed on it. We were refused at the museum entrance because we thought it was a ticket for the 3 places. (Our bad, out the translation is wrong somehow)
The free area worth the visit as well.
A beautiful set of temples in a historical complex that was very well maintained. There's the main tower where you can walk up five floors but disappointingly there was no major view nor main scenery at the top. Worth to go for the temples and statues if you're in the area. I wish there were signs explaining what each section was, however.
We went to this huge temple and it was a solemn place that you can pray and seat to enjoy the nature feeling scenery. It’s just walking distance from tennoji station and it was easy to locate. Its worth visiting this place. 😌
This temple is worth a visit if you are nearby, as it's not too crowded and therefore it offers a peaceful experience. The impressive 5-story pagoda, as well as some beautiful paintings and statues, make it also a remarkable place. Notably, it is one of the oldest temples in Japan, with a history dating back to the 6th century. Although it has been destroyed and rebuilt several times, today it presents a perfect appearance. In fact, I read that the temple was last destroyed by a typhoon in 1934 and restored to its current state in 1963, which explains the current perfect look.
