Whether it's because of their cultural importance, impressive architecture or rich history, temples usually feature on the to-do lists of many visitors. Shitenno-ji Temple is a well-known religious attraction you shouldn't miss.

Located in Tennoji, this place of worship is well worth a look. But you'll find a great deal more to see in the area. Osaka Castle, Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan, and Osaka Science Museum are within close reach of Shitenno-ji Temple.

8/10 Very Good! (158 reviews)

This hotel is in an apartment building, floors 4-8. We booked this hotel because we were looking for a location semi near the Itami airport for an early morning flight. Unfortunately, this hotel is in a NO taxi pick up area!!! Something we really wish we knew before booking.
