[2024 Minoh Attraction] Travel Guide for Katsuo-ji (Updated Nov)

Osaka's off-the-beaten-path | The journey is long, but it's really photogenic

'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!! And there are very few tourists on weekdays, the scenery is also very beautiful~ It should look even better in the autumn leaves season!

Very fun to be here. A lot of good memory. Beautyful scene and temple ^^

Katsuoji: A Must-Visit Place!!!

We absolutely love this place. It's incredibly interesting, especially with the Daruma dolls. Everywhere in Katsuoji, you'll find Daruma dolls placed around, starting from the entrance, which is very cute. The nature is beautiful 🥳🥳. There are also activities to do, such as stamping at various points (you'll receive a stamp frame with your ticket purchase). There are also souvenirs available, like Daruma charms and many other items, all at reasonable prices. 📍Daruma: A symbol of good luck and peace. You can make wishes too 📍

Osaka, Japan | Katsuoji Temple

|Katsuoji Temple. 〒562-8508 Minoh City, Osaka Prefecture Aimaya 2914-1500 yen/person 8:00-17:00 on weekdays, extended to 18:00 on weekends for self-driving (traffic is not that convenient) Upper May Mountain ¥300 + parking fee for one and a half hours ¥700 As soon as you enter the park, you are surrounded by Bodhidharma. You can see Bodhidharma in every corner! The tour takes about 1.5 hours, and the instructions for going up and down the mountain are very clear. There are small Bodhidharma that everyone prays for hidden in many corners along the way ~ a whole side Bodhidharma is really easy to film! Yushou is also very cute! Katsuoji Temple is a relatively small temple around Osaka. The disadvantage is that transportation is not very convenient, so I chose to drive there. There is a short section of winding mountain road on the way up May Mountain, so be careful!

Is a nice place. Buddhist temple Katsuō-ji (勝尾寺, Katsuō-ji) is a Buddhist temple in Minō city, north of Osaka, Japan.The word "katsu" in the temple's name refers to winning. People buy daruma dolls hoping to obtain "winner's luck".If the wish is fulfilled, the daruma is often returned to the temple and left somewhere on the grounds.

Osaka's Favorite Attractions

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)

A Must-Visit Near Osaka! The Home of Daruma, Katsuo-ji Temple.

I took a train to Minoo Kaidanno Station and then a bus. The bus schedule can be checked on the official website, and the journey takes about an hour. Even though it was a rainy day, it couldn't dampen my enthusiasm for Katsuo-ji Temple. The grounds are extensive but well-organized, and don't forget to try the free hand-covered postcard experience, it's super beautiful! You can also come here to enjoy the autumn leaves. Katsuo-ji Temple, with a history of over 700 years, is definitely worth multiple visits. There isn't much food for sale here, so it's a good idea to bring your own. After a long walk, you can rest at the entrance while waiting for the bus. 💰Admission Fee Adults (high school and above): 500 yen Middle and elementary school students: 400 yen Children: 100 yen Under 2 years old: Free

A Unique Attraction Worth the Trip

This morning, I made a trip to Katsuo-ji Temple in the outskirts of Osaka. It's a bit out of the way, but for the Daruma dolls, it was worth the special trip. The temple offers free blank postcards, which you can turn into adorable stamped postcards at six different stamping stations. Cute Daruma dolls can be seen all over the park, adding a touch of whimsy❤️. After a long ride, it was certainly worthwhile👍!

Katsuji Temple

Located in the northern part of Osaka, Katsuji Temple is a great place to visit, offering a quiet escape from the hustle and bustle of the city! The many Daruma games or shapes around the temple make for a wonderful half-day trip. The games or shapes traditionally represent good fortune. I visited the temple in January, but I think the best time to visit is in the spring when the temple is surrounded by spring flowers.

Katsuo-ji Temple in Osaka is really photogenic

It's really photogenic. Nestled in the mountains of northern Osaka, this temple is a great spot for photography, especially the Daruma dolls. Make sure to visit when the weather is good. The temple is filled with small Daruma dolls, which visitors buy and leave at the temple to pray for blessings, along with large Daruma dolls. A visit to the temple takes about 1-2 hours, and if you like taking photos📸, two hours is sufficient. This includes the round-trip bus time (refer to the guide I posted previously for detailed information on transportation➕time). The temple offers amulets, allows you to paint your own Daruma, fortune-telling, and has a gift shop, but there are no dining options nearby.

Osaka's niche travel|Into the Dharma--a good-looking niche temple Japanese temple will surprise me once and for all, Dharma appears in various forms in the various corners of Shengwei Temple. It can be said that the brush has a sense of existence. For academics, there is a special need to take a test tour to pay homage here. The rabbit that got Xiaoji was very satisfied. He didn't want a big win, but only a small win. Dharma Wishing Dafa: When making a wish, darken Bodhidharma's left eye, and then wait until the wish is reached before returning to blacken the right eye of Bodhidharma. So Dharma looks the same, but every pair of eyes is different. is one and a half hours away from downtown Osaka. Metro + bus is a more economical option. Winter is beautiful, let alone other seasons!
