Osaka's off-the-beaten-path | The journey is long, but it's really photogenic

'Katsuo-ji Temple' strictly speaking is not very far, take the subway to Senri Chuo Station, get off and take the No. 29 bus for about half an hour to get there, but what needs to be noted is that there are fewer buses on weekdays, only three a day, so you need to check the time in advance, it's a bit troublesome, but it's very worth it! There are Daruma dolls everywhere in the temple, they are really cute and photogenic!! And there are very few tourists on weekdays, the scenery is also very beautiful~ It should look even better in the autumn leaves season!

Katsuo-ji Temple in Osaka is really photogenic

It's really photogenic. Nestled in the mountains of northern Osaka, this temple is a great spot for photography, especially the Daruma dolls. Make sure to visit when the weather is good. The temple is filled with small Daruma dolls, which visitors buy and leave at the temple to pray for blessings, along with large Daruma dolls. A visit to the temple takes about 1-2 hours, and if you like taking photos📸, two hours is sufficient. This includes the round-trip bus time (refer to the guide I posted previously for detailed information on transportation➕time). The temple offers amulets, allows you to paint your own Daruma, fortune-telling, and has a gift shop, but there are no dining options nearby.

Osaka's niche travel|Into the Dharma--a good-looking niche temple Japanese temple will surprise me once and for all, Dharma appears in various forms in the various corners of Shengwei Temple. It can be said that the brush has a sense of existence. For academics, there is a special need to take a test tour to pay homage here. The rabbit that got Xiaoji was very satisfied. He didn't want a big win, but only a small win.

So Dharma looks the same, but every pair of eyes is different. is one and a half hours away from downtown Osaka. Metro + bus is a more economical option. Winter is beautiful, let alone other seasons!
