It's a very nice temple and pagoda in the middle of Osaka. Don't forget to visit adjacent Japanese garden. It's nice and only costs 300yen.

Took us 15mins by walk at a slower pace with kids to get here from Tennoji Train station. Needed to pay for entry but it was fair considering the maintenance. Not sure how much restorations work were done over the years but the temples seemed very well preserved. They do look quite new with the long history. If you are... More

Among dozens of temples in Osaka or even Kansai, this one is relatively of large scale and well maintained. Most areas of the temple is free except for the main palace though you can still see appearance outside and as tourists not a must to pay to get in unless you wanna pray. It's only 5min walk from Metro station.... More

Very beautiful, very peaceful - certainly not as busy as some of the temples in nearby Kyoto and Nara. Would recommend a visit. Also liked the fact that you can go to the top of the pagoda there.

You can pick up bargains - an kimono, an obi, old dishes, a carpenters plane. Make an effort to visit if you are... More

This temple is a wonderful place to visit and gather your thoughts. The pagoda is lovely and the murals of the life of Buddha inside the first hall are unique. Going on a Thursday, we had the place almost to ourselves and it was easy to while away an hour or so wandering through the well maintained and pretty Japanese... More

This temple is definitely worth the visit. Unlike most other temples in Japan there is an entrance fee to enter the actual temple complex (and the adjoining gardens) - the Osaka Pass covers both fees. Once inside the temple complex you can climb up the pagoda however, there isn't much of a view from the top! There are also some... More
