Minoh Park is located in the northern part of Osaka and is a picturesque place known as a famous spot of colored leaves for a long time. The establishment of Ryuanji Temple is beleived to have begun after En no Gyoja erected the Minoh Temple in 650 and even today shugensha (mountain ascetics or trained Buddhist priests) from all over the country gather at the foundation dojo considering it a place for Japanese mountain asceticism. The Sarasvati enshrined in the main hall is said to be one of the most ancient in Japan and it is one of the four Saraswatis enshrined along with the Sarasvati enshrined in Enoshima, Lake Biwa Chikubu-shima Island, and Miyajima Island. This place is also famous as the origin of the public lottery (lottery).
