Katsuo-ji Temple surrounded by Daruma in the suburbs of Osaka

There is a temple surrounded by Daruma in the suburbs of Osaka - Katsuoji Temple It is said that the wishes made here are super spiritual. Many people come to pray every day. The key is that this one is very cute 🌟Historical background: Katsuo-ji Temple was built in 727 and is a Buddhist temple of the Shingon sect in Koyasan. Emperor Seiwa was blessed by the temple and recovered, so the temple was given the name, which was later changed to its current name. It is not only a witness to history, but also a place of spiritual sustenance. 🎐Blessing at Bodhidharma: The most famous one in the temple is "Shengyun Bodhidharma". Choose a Daruma that is destined for you, write your wish on the back, and dot its left eye to symbolize determination. When the wish is fulfilled, you can then add a dot to your right eye to fulfill the wish. 🗺️Check-in route: Get a free blank postcard when you enter the door, and then go to the 6 stamping points in order to get a unique Daruma postcard. Then we went to the Daruma Offering Shed, which was filled with Darumas carrying people's wishes. It was spectacular and stunning. Don't forget to take photos in front of the Pagoda. 📍Transportation: 1️⃣ From downtown Osaka, take the Midosuji Subway Line to Senri-Chuo Station, transfer to Hankyu Bus Line 29, and get off at Katsuoji Station. 2️⃣Take the Hankyu Railway to Minoh Station, then take a taxi, which takes about 18 minutes 🎫Tickets: Adults 500 yen, Children 300 yen 💡Tips: 1. It is best to check the bus schedule in advance to avoid missing the last bus 2. Some of the Dharma displays in the temple are not allowed to be touched, so please be civilized when visiting.
