    Hyogo Amagasaki-shi Inadera 1-31
    It is difficult to imagine the sight of the pagoda and Kondo (main hall) of the Horyuji-style temple complex lined up on the 160-square-meter site in the past, as only the foundation of the pagoda, which was brought from the site in the Taisho era, and a signboard placed by the Amagasaki City Board of Education remain today. During excavations conducted in the Showa period (1926-1989), tiles believed to be from the Kamakura and Muromachi periods were found, and it is said that Inadera Temple was also lost when the castle was invaded in the Warring States period.

Hyogo prefecture stretches from the north coast to the south coast on the western end of the popular Kansai region, encompassing verdant mountains, urban beaches, and fantastic historical sights. The prefecture’s main attractions lie along the south coast at Kobe, the prefectural capital, a pretty harbor city best known for its production of the renowned Kobe beef, and Himeji, the home of Himeji Castle, one of the country’s most beautifully preserved feudal castles, perched magically atop a hill.
