Kondo (main hall) of Horyu-ji, one of the most famous temples in Japan, with the 5-storey pagoda behind. These are said to be the two oldest wooden buildings in the world. The temple was founded by Prince Shotoku in the early 7th century not long after Buddhism was introduced to Japan. The temple buildings have been rebuilt since.

The temple and others associated with it comprise one of Japan's earliest UNESCO World Heritage Sites. For these reasons, they are a major tourist attraction.

The temple precinct's full name is Horyu Gakumon-ji (法隆学問寺), which means 'Learning Temple of the Flourishing Law'.
