四天王寺, Buddhist temple in Tsu, Japan.

The Shitennoji Temple contains precious artifacts including statues of Prince Shotoku and Yakushi Buddha, designated as important cultural properties of Japan.

Founded during the Nara period as evidenced by excavated roof tiles, the temple underwent several reconstructions, including one by Oda Nobutsumi after war damages.

The temple maintains traditional Soto Zen practices, offering weekly meditation sessions and calligraphy experiences for visitors seeking spiritual connection.

Located 10 minutes by car from Tsu Interchange and 10 minutes on foot from Tsu Station, the temple provides special stamp collections and pet memorial services.

The temple houses a three-faced Daikokuten statue, which received prayers from the feudal lord Oda Nobunaga during the 16th century.
