Katsuo-ji Temple 2914-1 Aomikadani, Mino City, Osaka Prefecture This temple, located in the mountains of Mino City, Osaka Prefecture, is widely known for its prayers for victory. It features a unique landscape with small Daruma dolls placed throughout the grounds, making it a satisfying destination for photography as well. It is also designated as a pilgrimage site of the 33 temples of the Saigoku region. Kachi Daruma / Daruma Omikuji: A popular way to enjoy this experience is not only to take the drawn fortune home but also to dedicate it at the temple grounds. Katsuo-ji Temple (Mino City, Osaka Prefecture) is experiencing a surge in foreign tourists (inbound) due to increased visibility on social media and improved access with the extension of the Kita-Osaka Kyuko Line (opening of Minoh-Kayano Station) in 2024, leading to significant crowds. With the increase in inbound tourists, littering has become more noticeable, which may be attributed to differences in manners and culture (in some countries, it's common to litter as "cleaners will take care of it")... 😂😂😂 Parking is available but expensive... It costs 2000 yen for 2 hours and 40 minutes on weekdays. Prices for inbound tourists have increased compared to before.

The monument of Gyo-bun The haiku, composed by the poet Sankyutei Gyo-bun, who follows in the footsteps of Matsuo Bashō, is inscribed on the front of the monument. This haiku was written during his journey when he passed through Kamagaya Post Town. Additionally, this monument was erected at the junction of Kioroshi Kaidō Road and Gendō Kaza-machi, serving as a waymarker. On the right side of the monument, it is inscribed "Right Kioroshi Road," and on the left side, "Left Nakakido Road." Kioroshi Kaidō Road was bustling with people traveling for worship from Edo to Kashima and to Chōshi, and many literary figures, including Matsuo Bashō and Watanabe Kazan, frequented Kamagaya Post Town. https://www.city.kamagaya.chiba.jp/kosodate-kyouiku/kyoikuindex/bunka_menu/bunkazai.html#cms28...
