Taihei-ji, Buddhist temple in Tennōji-ku, Japan

The central structure of Taihei-ji displays traditional wooden architecture with intricate carvings and maintains several halls dedicated to different Buddhist teachings.

Prince Shotoku established Taihei-ji in 593 as one of Japan's first state-sponsored temples, marking a significant period in Japanese Buddhist development.

The temple hosts monthly Daishi-e ceremonies to honor Kobo Daishi and Shotoku Taishi, drawing Buddhist practitioners from across the region.

Visitors can access Taihei-ji through Shitennoji-mae Yuhigaoka Station, with separate admission fees for the central temple, treasure museum, and Japanese garden.

Market stalls appear at Taihei-ji on the 21st and 22nd of each month, transforming the temple grounds into a gathering space for local vendors.
