Nakayama-dera Temple in Takarazuka City is an ancient temple said to be the first Kannon pilgrimage site in Japan established by Prince Shotoku. In particular, as a temple for praying for safe childbirth, it has gathered wide faith from historical figures such as Toyotomi Hideyoshi to many modern families. Within the grounds, there is a very rare "purple five-story pagoda," and its colorful beauty and power surprise visitors. In addition, because it is located on a mountainside, it has a good view, and accessibility has improved with escalators, so anyone can worship with peace of mind. It is a famous temple where you can enjoy Japan's deep faith and the colorful grounds decorated with beautiful seasonal flowers.
