Overview

Eifuku-ji Temple has been a place of faith for people for many centuries, deeply connected to Prince Shotoku. It's one of the three temples established by Prince Shotoku, known as "Kami no Taiji" (the Upper Prince). It is said to have originated after Prince Shotoku's death, when his aunt, Empress Suiko, donated land and buildings, and a hall was constructed for the keepers of his tomb. Eifuku-ji North Tumulus (Iso-nagagmori), believed to be Prince Shotoku's mausoleum, is designated as an Imperial tomb by the Imperial Household Agency, making it a historically significant site. The grounds house many historical buildings, including Prince Shotoku's mausoleum, the Golden Hall (Kondō), and the Seireiden Hall. The serene atmosphere provides a peaceful retreat. Why not visit this temple associated with Prince Shotoku and experience its history and faith?
