Known as the "Temple of Winner's Luck," it is a power spot attracting visitors praying for success in business or life. The sight of tens of thousands of "Winning Daruma" dolls filling the grounds is spectacular, and its powerful red imagery has become a hot topic on social media. The beautiful gates and gardens show incredibly rich colors through the seasons—spring cherries, summer hydrangeas, autumn maples, and winter snow. It's a place where you can deeply experience the traditional Japanese culture of entrusting your wishes to a Daruma.

Minoh Falls

A majestic 33-meter high waterfall selected as one of "Japan's Top 100 Waterfalls." It appears after a 40-minute walk along the well-maintained "Takimichi" path from Minoh Station, accompanied by the sound of the stream. The contrast between the white water flowing down the rocky cliff and the surrounding deep greenery or autumn maples is as beautiful as a painting. Spending time enveloped in the negative ions from the waterfall is a special experience that purifies the mind and body.
