Description
Discover the Katsuo-ji Temple on the outskirts of Osaka on a guided tour. Learn about the temple's history and significance as a pilgrimage site, and see the vibrant autumn leaves.
Explore the Katsuo-ji Temple, located in the mountains on the outskirts of Osaka. Discover a historic temple that, while not difficult to access, retains a remarkably secluded and mystical atmosphere.
In recent years, the temple has become known for offering visitors the chance to make a personal wish by placing small "daruma" figurines within the temple grounds. Historically, it has also served as a pilgrimage site for many devout Buddhists from the Kansai region.
The historical and cultural beauty of this temple remains unchanged no matter when you visit. However, autumn is undoubtedly the most beautiful time to experience it. In Japanese, the changing leaves are often described as "like a woven brocade," and the landscape here truly feels as if a vibrant, colorful tapestry has been spread out before you.
See for yourself the sacred, heavenly scenery that unfolds as you cross a mist-shrouded bridge.
