[2025 Minoh Attraction] Travel Guide for Katsuo-ji (Updated Apr)

It is said that Mount Fuji rewards early risers. Compared to Lake Kawaguchiko, I prefer Lake Yamanaka. Although there was no "reverse Fuji," I was already very satisfied. There was sunrise, swans, and Mount Fuji. 🚗6:30 Hirano Lakeside (Hirano no Hama) Took a taxi to Hirano no Hama. There were swans, sunrise, and Mount Fuji. 🚴10:00 Shiratori-hama After 7:00, there's a bus. Took the bus back to the hotel and rented a bicycle with electric assist. It wasn't tiring. Cycling around the lake took 2 hours. Gave up on "the park" as it opens at 11:00 and there were already many people waiting for viewing spots at 10:00. But actually, just a little bit past "the park," the scenery was also amazing. There's no need to wait specifically. After cycling around the lake, had brunch at Denny's. In the afternoon, took a bus to Lake Kawaguchiko. A perfect day. ❗️Tips The lake bus only starts running at 7:00. To see the sunrise early, you need to take a taxi or stay near Hirano. There are swans in many places, especially at Shiratori-hama, and also at Hirano. Bicycle rentals are available from 9:00 for JPY 2,000 for two hours. Rented from an elderly gentleman near Shiratori-hama. Two hours is enough to cycle around the lake and take photos. You can choose a hotel in Hirano or near a bus stop, which is very convenient.

This time it departed from Umeda Station and got there in about an hour or so. It costs 500 yen to enter, comes with a postcard, the directions along the way can be stamped, and the instructions are clear, it was a comfortable trip and probably stayed for an hour or two before leaving. #Osaka #Katsuoji Temple Transportation: Take the OsakaMetro Midosuji Line, Umeda (subway) to Keono Kanno Station, about 25 minutes drive, after exiting the gate to walk to Hankyu Bus Station, station guidance is very clear, after one floor you will see the bus stop, towards Katsuoji. This return trip did not take the bus, if enough for four people to take a taxi about 3100 yen, more convenient. Address: 2914-1 Aomatani, Minoh, Osaka 562-8508 Japan Opening hours: 8:00am - 5:00pm

🎎 Katsuoji Temple or Daruma Temple in Osaka, Japan 🇯🇵 📍 Located in the mountains north of Osaka, #Katsuoji Temple, known as the "Temple of Victory and Success", is an ancient temple with a history of 1,300 years. The highlight here is that there are Daruma dolls all over the temple grounds. Because many people who come to pray for success in various matters, whether it's illness, work, exams, competitions, and love. When they succeed or their wish comes true, they will bring the Daruma doll to the temple. 🙏🏻 How to make a wish The Daruma doll that you first receive will not have eyes. Those who worship must write what they wish for and draw 1 eye themselves first. Then take it and swirl it around the incense pot and take it home. When 1 year has passed or the wish has been fulfilled, the Daruma doll must be returned to the temple and the remaining eyes must be drawn. To tell the gods that the wish has been fulfilled 👀👁️ ❤️ The temple has many beautiful photo spots 📸 If you come during the autumn foliage season, it's the most beautiful place here 🍂🍁 And during the cherry blossom season, you can also see the beauty of the temple's surroundings 🌸 ⏰ Open daily from 08:00 to 17:00 💴 The entrance fee to the temple is 500 yen/person, and you'll get a postcard.

#globaltravel Come to this world full of Dharma! As soon as you buy your tickets and enter, there will be many little Dharmas to greet you - the first thing to do is to get the postcard, there are six stamped places along the way, all collected to get a colorful complete postcard! There are many different photo spots during the walk, and at the end there is also a section to buy souvenirs, with different guards and different sizes of Bodhidharma options, I ended up only buying a small Bodhidharma poem, someone will leave Bodhidharma in the temple, let Katsuoji helped me fulfill my wish ~ but Damo was so cute, so I took it home🤤 I hope everyone has a lot of money✨

I've wanted to come here for a long time but I never chose to fly to Osaka. This time I finally came. The journey is easy but the ride is long. There are little Daruma everywhere. So cute. Buy a Daruma and write your wish on the back. Draw the left eye and burn incense. If the wish comes true, draw the right eye. It's a small attraction and the journey is long, but it's really worth coming. 🎫 Tickets ¥500 👹Opening hours: 8:00am - 17:00pm 🚗Transportation: [Midosuji Line] Get off at Senri-Chuo Station, Exit 13 and take Bus No. 29 Be sure to check the bus schedule!

The most beloved spot in Osaka is Katsuo-ji Temple!! It's so healing and the environment is serene. Luckily, there weren't many people when I visited. Taking a quiet walk there really calms and soothes the mind. I bought a small Daruma doll and wrote my wish on its back. If your wish comes true, remember to come back and give thanks. Also, don't forget to stamp your Daruma postcard at each checkpoint. Unfortunately, I went too late and couldn't complete it. I left with some regrets, but I'll come back next time. 📍Address: 2914-1 Aomatani, Minoh, Osaka 562-8508, Japan 🕰️Business Hours: 08:00-17:00 (extended to 18:00 on Saturdays)

'Katsuo-ji Temple' strictly speaking is not very far, take the subway to Senri Chuo Station, get off and take the No. 29 bus for about half an hour to get there, but what needs to be noted is that there are fewer buses on weekdays, only three a day, so you need to check the time in advance, it's a bit troublesome, but it's very worth it! There are Daruma dolls everywhere in the temple, they are really cute and photogenic!!

The hydrangeas that bloom close to the quiet waters around the Kannon Pond are very peaceful, and the colors of the flowers reflected on the water are a delight to the eyes. The approach from the Kannon Pond to the main hall is also a wonderful recommended spot for hydrangeas. The clusters of flowers blooming along the atmospheric stone steps are truly spectacular, and the wide variety of flowers is also one of the highlights. There are an astonishing 3,600 hydrangeas planted at Katsuo-ji Temple, including mountain hydrangea, lacecap hydrangea, tama hydrangea, and amacha hydrangea. Although they are all called hydrangeas, they come in a variety of shapes, and the particularly rare kashiwaba hydrangea has slightly greenish flowers that bloom in a cone shape like wisteria. It may be fun to try to distinguish the clusters of hydrangeas that bloom here and there in the vast temple grounds of 26,000 square meters. Schedule Best time to see: Mid-June to mid-July *The period may vary depending on the flowering conditions.
