Nestled in the mountains of Minoo in northern Osaka, Katsuo-ji Temple boasts over 1,300 years of history and is known as the 'Temple of Victory Luck'. This package includes a round-trip bus service connecting to Minoo-Kayano Station or Hankyu Minoo Station and Katsuo-ji Temple, along with admission to the temple grounds. It offers a convenient way to visit from Osaka city using public transportation. You can make a wish while admiring the 'Victory Daruma' dolls densely packed on the offering shelves, and the return bus can be taken at your leisure without a fixed schedule. Enjoy the changing scenery with cherry blossoms and rhododendrons in spring, hydrangeas in summer, and autumn foliage.

Take the bus from the designated boarding point at Minoo-Kayano Station (Kita-Osaka Kyuko Line) or Hankyu Minoo Station bus rotary towards Katsuo-ji. Show the QR ticket screen to the driver when boarding the bus, and present the same ticket screen at the Katsuo-ji entrance for admission. The journey back to Minoo-Kayano Station takes approximately 25 minutes, and to Hankyu Minoo Station takes about 35 minutes, based on the return bus schedule.

Katsuo-ji has been revered as a temple for praying for victory luck since ancient times, with historical records indicating visits from prominent figures like the Minamoto and Ashikaga clans. Even today, people from all over the world visit to pray for 'victory' in various aspects of life, including overcoming illness, business success, exams, sports, and relationships.

The 'Victory Daruma (Kachi Daruma)' dolls, densely arranged on the offering shelves, are dedicated by worshippers who have made wishes and fulfilled them with gratitude. Katsuo-ji's philosophy of 'winning' means 'conquering oneself' rather than defeating others.

Katsuo-ji is located within the mountains of Meiji no Mori Minoo Quasi-National Park in northern Osaka, covering an area of approximately 260,000 square meters. Despite being only about 30 minutes from Osaka city, it is surrounded by lush nature. Visitors are greeted by cherry blossoms and rhododendrons in spring, hydrangeas in summer, and autumn foliage in fall.
