The temple is full of Daruma tumblers, which is spectacular!

📍Kasuno-ji Temple, Minoh City, Osaka Prefecture It is famous for the "Daruma Dolls" that are scattered throughout the temple. It is also revered as a temple for praying for victory and good fortune, and cute Daruma Dolls can be seen everywhere. Everyone can choose a tumbler that is destined for them at the temple's granting center, write the goals they want to achieve this year on the back of the tumbler, and write the purpose of achieving this goal on the bottom. Then pick up a few sticks of incense, pray deeply and thank the people and things related to this goal, and let the smoke from the incense sticks in your hand color the tumbler. Finally, with a strong desire for success, draw the right eye for the tumbler. After making a wish, it is recommended that you take the tumbler home and place it in a conspicuous place. Look at it with the right eye drawn on it every day and think about your wish. Once the goal is achieved, you can take the tumbler back to Katsuo-ji Temple and draw his left eye. Then go to the main hall to report to the gods and express gratitude, and finally place the tumbler in the offering hall so that it can continue to protect the people who are still hoping for victory. Many tourists will buy a Daruma fortune stick for 500 yen to see their fortune. After drawing the fortune stick, tourists can place the Daruma stick anywhere in Katsuoji Temple, which symbolizes letting go of their wishes and placing their wishes in Katsuoji Temple (of course, they can also take it home as a souvenir)~ It happens that in early November every year, during the autumn leaves season in Japan, Katsuo-ji Temple is also one of the autumn leaves scenic spots in Osaka. The red maple leaves blend with the vermilion of the tumbler. While admiring the red maple leaves, you can look for the Daruma that everyone has placed casually. Sometimes there will be unexpected surprises. 🕰️【Visit time】 ・Weekdays 08:00~17:00 ・Saturday 08:00~18:00 ・Sundays and national holidays 08:00~17:00 💰【Prayer Fees】 ・Adults and high school students and above: ¥500 ・Junior high school and elementary school students: ¥400 ・Preschool children: ¥100 ・Children under 2 years old: Free🆓 🚇【Transportation】 - Hankyu Railway's "Minoo Station" - From here, take a taxi and arrive in about 18 minutes - Hankyu Railway Senri Line to the last station "Kita-Senri Station" - Transfer to Hankyu Bus "Limited Express 29" towards Kibogaoka 4-chome and get off at "Katsuoji" stop 💡Notes: 📝Tickets cannot be purchased 30 minutes before closing time 📝When you purchase your admission ticket, the staff will also give you a blank postcard.
