[Osaka Sennichimae] There's a shrine in the temple building!

As you walk through Sennichimae in Osaka, you will suddenly come across a place that turns red. Here it is: Fukuju Benzaiten. Right in the middle of Sennichimae, Minami, Osaka. This is a Shingon sect Yamashina temple with the main hall on the 4th floor of Kamigata Building and the Daishi Hall on the 3rd floor. ✨
It is said that this temple was built to bring back the bustle of Minami, where popular performing arts such as Kabuki and Joruri flourished, and to truly revive Minami. ✨As proof of this, there are many names of Rakugo performers on the Benzaiten statue. ✨✨
Koshoji is a temple that serves as a base and watches over the city of Minami. ✨✨✨
