Daruma Temple (Katsuoji Temple)

Daruma Temple, also known as Katsuoji Temple, is an incredibly charming place that I highly recommend visiting. 🩵🧡 Inside the temple, you'll find countless tiny Daruma dolls placed everywhere—even in spots you wouldn't expect! It's impossible not to smile at the creativity of those who placed them. ✨☺️

This temple also offers a unique fortune-telling experience with Daruma dolls. Each doll has a fortune slip tucked underneath it. After reading your fortune, you can tie the slip to the ropes provided by the temple and place the Daruma doll on the temple's walls. The walls are filled with these dolls, creating a heartwarming and adorable sight. ☺️🧡

Located on Mount Minoh, the temple enjoys cooler weather compared to the city, making it a refreshing and serene spot to visit. 🌬️❄️

🚌 How to get there: Take a bus from Minoh-Kayano Station, and you'll reach the temple directly.
