法起寺
A tranquil temple featuring the oldest three-story pagoda in Japan.
Known for its elegant three-story pagoda dating back to 706, this quiet temple sits beautifully among rural rice fields. It provides a peaceful contrast to the larger Horyu-ji complex nearby. It is especially picturesque in autumn when cosmos flowers bloom.
Rent a bicycle from Horyu-ji to easily reach this temple and explore the surrounding countryside.
