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.
Sightseeing in Asuka Village using the Tour Kame Bus.
I came to Asuka again after visiting Takamatsuzuka Tomb, the Mural Museum, Ishibutai and Asukadera Temple last week, but ran out of time. A temple associated with Prince Shotoku.
You can find information about this area online, but I came across a wooden seated statue of Prince Shotoku and a standing statue of Jizo Bodhisattva, both of which are Important Cultural Properties.
Time stands still.
I thought back to the historic Asuka region at the beginning of the 7th century.
The setting for ancient history, still a tranquil landscape today. It's really only an hour from Osaka, and transportation is not bad either.
Day trips to Asuka are really fun.
