Jigen-in, Buddhist temple and National Treasure in Izumisano, Japan

The two-story pagoda of Jigenin rises 10.5 meters high, featuring a square base measuring 2.7 meters on each side with decorative wooden elements.

Emperor Tenmu ordered the construction of Jigenin in 673, though most structures were destroyed during Toyotomi Hideyoshi's attack in 1585.

The temple contains a seated Dainichi Nyorai figure with Jikokuten and Tamonten attendants, recognized as Tangible Cultural Properties by Osaka Prefecture.

Visitors can reach Jigenin by taking the Nankai Wing Bus Nanbu Line to Higashiue stop, followed by a short walk to the temple grounds.

The pagoda stands among three notable two-story pagodas in Japan, alongside structures at Ishiyamadera Temple and Kongosanmai-in Temple.
