Japan's super cute Daruma Temple with transportation and photo guide

In Osaka, Japan, there is a small and lovely Katsuoji Temple. There are 10,000+ Daruma dolls scattered around the temple, representing good luck. Everyone can choose a Daruma doll of their own at the "Granting Office" in the temple. When making a wish, draw an eyeball on the Daruma's left eyeball, and fill in the other side after the wish is fulfilled. Each Daruma carries a pious wish. - 🕘【Opening hours】 9:00-17:00. The recommended time for the tour is 2-3 hours. It will be crowded from December 31st to early January, so it is not suitable to go there. - 💴【Ticket price】 Adults 500 yen, children 300 yen - ⛺【Amusement activities】 When you enter Katsuoji Temple, the first thing that comes into view is the Victory Daruma Offering Shed, which is filled with Darumas returned by people after praying, each carrying a wish. You can make your own wish here and buy a Daruma. According to the wishing method in the temple, write your goal on the back of the Daruma, draw the right eye, take it home and place it in a conspicuous place. When your wish comes true, draw the left eye and return it. Then you can go to the main hall to worship, where the Eleven-Headed Thousand-Armed Guanyin is enshrined, and feel the tranquility and peace brought by the chanting that has never stopped for 1,300 years. In addition, there are many places in the temple where you can collect postcards and get them stamped. You can collect them while you visit as a souvenir of your trip. At Benzaiten Shrine, you can admire the integration of the vermilion architecture with the surrounding natural landscape. When visiting, please pay attention to respect the rules and culture of the temple, keep quiet, and don't make loud noises. - 🚌【Transportation Guide】 You can choose to take a direct bus at Minoh Kayano Station, which has more buses; you can also take a bus at Senri Chuo Station, which has fewer buses but may be easier to get a seat. If you have enough time and budget, you can also choose to charter a car or taxi, so as to avoid the peak hours. - 👉【Photography Guide】 Take a photo with the cute Daruma in front of the Daruma Offering Shed Take a solemn and sacred photo in front of the main hall with the ancient building as the background In addition, the mini Daruma poem sticks in the temple, the Daruma on the pond, the Daruma on the tree branches, etc. are all photo materials
