Daruma Temple - Katsuo Ji Osaka

#osaka #travel #daruma #katsuoji

This is a must-visit destination for all tourists. It is located up in the hills.

**Transport**
If you're coming from Osaka, take the train to Minoh-kayano Station. From there, walk to the only bus stop that will take you to the temple. You'll notice many queues and directional signs on the board. You can pay with cash or use your transport card.

**Tickets**
Be sure to purchase your ticket before boarding or in advance so you can skip the queues and go directly to the QR code line. There is signage available that allows you to scan and buy entrance tickets directly.

**Adventure**
The staff will provide you with a postcard, and at every station, you will need to stamp it to complete a puzzle. This will form a complete picture of Daruma, which you can keep for free. It's a nice walk! If you are coming with a stroller or wheelchair, you will need to take an alternate route where people are heading downhill.

**Souvenirs**
You can find some souvenirs to purchase once you have completed your visit, before heading back to the bus stop that will take you back to the train station.
