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.

It is said to have been founded in the 7th century and has a long history dating back to the Asuka period.
Within the precincts, there are also historical sites that convey the vestiges of those days.
It houses many important cultural properties, including a statue of Prince Shotoku and a statue of Nyoirin Kannon Bodhisattva.
Another attraction is that you can see precious cultural assets such as Buddhist statues and paintings up close.
The Nimen Stone, which is enshrined in the shrine grounds, is a rare stone structure that is said to represent the dual nature of a person's heart, good and evil. You can experience the thought and culture of the Asuka period.
