Ichijō-ji, Buddhist temple in Takatsuki, Japan

The temple grounds feature a three-story pagoda from 1171, with a main hall housing an 8th-century Kanzeon Bosatsu statue at the top of stone stairs.

Emperor Kotoku established Ichijo-ji Temple in 650 after an Indian monk named Hodo arrived from China and cured the emperor through prayer techniques.

The temple holds position number 26 on the Saigoku Kannon Pilgrimage circuit, with thirty-three temples spread across the Kansai region of Japan.

Visitors need approximately one hour to explore the temple complex, including time to climb the stairs and examine the buildings along the path.

The pagoda construction demonstrates traditional Japanese carpentry methods, utilizing natural stone pillars without nails to maintain structural integrity.
