Shitennōji Temple
The temple was built by Emperor Suiko in 593 AD. Although the current buildings are mostly post World War II reconstructions, the temple is a rare sample which conveys the continental style (notably the positioning of the individual buildings inside the complex) of 6th-7th century to present.
Why it is worth a visit
