Katsuoji Temple Katsuoji Temple

⛩️ Katsuoji Temple (勝尾寺) 👺 Or Daruma Temple, the Japanese call it the Temple of Victory 🎉 where people often come to pray for victory, success, work, love. It is a fairly large temple. The ancient temple is over 1,300 years old and is located in Mino, Osaka. 🙏🏻 💞: This lucky temple also has an important symbol, the "Daruma doll of victory". The Daruma doll is a bright red doll made of Japanese paper that looks like a tumbler doll. 🪆👺 🏖️: Before entering, there is an entrance fee. Once we pay, the staff will have paper for us to stamp from the entrance to the exit of 6 checkpoints. The temple is spacious. The entrance has a good atmosphere with smoke similar to an onsen. All along the way up the mountain to the temple, there are Daruma dolls lined up on every walkway. There are photo spots all along the way. You won't feel tired. Good atmosphere (went during the autumn leaves season) sunny but the weather was nice and not hot 🍃🍁 🕰️bOpening hours: Weekdays 08:00-17:00 Saturdays 08:00-17:30 Sundays and public holidays 08:00-18:00 💰Admission fee per person: Adults = 500 yen, children 6-15 years old = 400 yen Children 3-5 years old = 100 yen, children 0-2 years old = free 📍Address: Mino City, Osaka Prefecture 🚞🚕 Travel: We took the train from Namba Station, took the Midosuji Line, and got off at Senrichuo Station. Then walk out to find the bus and take bus number 29 (Channel 6-B). The bus to the temple is around 9 and 10 am. You can check the schedule on the screen that says Katsuoji. 📱 *It is recommended to go before the time. There are a lot of people.
