Driving for about 40 minutes from downtown Osaka, visitors reach Katsuo-ji Temple precincts, which cover an area of around 264,000 square meters, the 23rd temple of the Saigoku 33 Kannon Pilgrimage, in a beautiful natural forest. The autumn leaves coloring the temple are a popular sight. It has also been known in ancient times as “the temple of the Dharma doll,” or the “temple of good fortune.” Also, as prayers are held every day there are many pilgrims who visit from all over the country praying for good fortune and seeking healing. When one passes the main gate red, yellow, and purple colored leaves of the entire temple rise in the background of the deep green of the and creating a brocade like scenery that looks like a picture scroll. At sunset one can enjoy the atmosphere created by the fantastic, mysterious light up (for a limited time).
