Today we visited the Shitenno-Ji Temple which is one of the oldest Buddist temples in Japan, dating back  to 593. The temple buildings have been destroyed by fires and warfare multiple times throughout the centuries, but they have always been meticulously reconstructed to reflect the original 6th-century continental design.
