Katsuoji Temple or Daruma Temple, pray for great blessings

#Osaka Travel
If you come to Osaka and want to pray for good luck and take pictures with the magnificent natural view, "Katsuoji Temple (勝尾寺)" or as many people call it "Daruma Temple" is a must-see! The highlight is the red Daruma dolls, both small and large, that are lined up throughout the temple — some are hidden in trees, some are placed on the steps or by the pond, which has become an amazing identity that is unlike any other temple in Japan✨ Japanese people like to come and pray for "victory", whether it's work, exams, competitions, or personal life. Then they will buy a blank Daruma (without a black eye) to write a wish on it. Then draw one eye and when the wish comes true, they will come back and draw the other eye. The atmosphere is quiet, surrounded by forests and mountains, beautiful in every season, especially during the red leaf season 🍁 This temple is especially beautiful📍Travel from Umeda by train + bus, takes about 1 hour
