Tennou Temple, Buddhist temple in Yamato, Japan.

Tennou Temple consists of wooden structures with traditional architectural elements, including a main hall and a distinctive gate from the Edo period.

The temple moved to its current location in 1616, following the relocation of the Iizaka clan under the leadership of Date Munekiyo.

The temple belongs to the Rinzai school of Buddhism and maintains traditional ceremonies throughout the calendar year for the local community.

Located five minutes from Yamato Interchange on the Tohoku Expressway, the temple grounds welcome visitors while interior visits require advance arrangements.

The temple kitchen and residence building ranks as the second oldest surviving structure of its type in Miyagi Prefecture, dating to approximately 1660.
