Since 697A.D. The Japanese temple in Takatsuki, Osaka. The entire mountain was said to have been the subject of mountain worship, and since then it prospered as a sacred place where Bishamon was first enshrined in Japan. This is an old tomb that can continue to pray every day as “Bishamon Fudo Goma”. In addition, it is wrapped in a natural rich mountain that changes the scenery from season to season, and many people visit every year as a “hidden spot” of autumn leaves, especially in autumn.

We visited this beautiful, secluded temple on a Monday afternoon in December at the end of the autumn leaves season. The complex consists of a dozen or so buildings in addition to the temple itself, with various paths, gates and bridges to investigate. The whole place feels like an ancient village and the fact that there was absolutely noone there added to the atmosphere. We were told there was a 300 yen entry fee during autumn leaves season, but there was nobody to collect it in the hour or so we were wandering around. Kyoto is so packed nowadays that the temple tranquility vibe is almost impossible to find there; here’s where you’ll get it in spades. It was literally raining red leaves as we stood by the river bank. The only sound we could hear was the trickling of water and the wind in the trees. Magic stuff. To get there, take a JR train to Takatsuki and from there, the number 53 bus to Kabusanguchi stop (220 yen / 20 minutes). From there, it’s a 20 minute walk, mostly uphill, to the temple. Well worth it, especially if you want to escape the masses.
