Shōman-in, Buddhist temple in Yuhigaoka, Japan
The temple buildings stand within landscaped grounds that include stone pathways, traditional gardens, and meditation areas for spiritual contemplation.
Prince Shōtoku established Shōman-in in 593 CE, marking an early period of Buddhist expansion throughout the Japanese archipelago.
The temple maintains its designation as an Important Cultural Property while participating in the preservation of Buddhist ceremonies and religious practices.
Visitors can reach the temple grounds through local transportation routes from central Osaka, with regular opening hours throughout the week.
