Hozen-ji: Make a wish by sprinkling water 🇯🇵

Japan has always been one of my bucket list destinations and last year I finally got the chance to visit! 📍 Hozen-ji temple is located in Minami district of Osaka, Japan. The temple is hidden away down a small street in the lively downtown area Minami in Osaka. The statue of Nishimuki Fudo Myo, a Buddhist deity, is covered with moss. It is believed that when you sprinkle water over the statue, he will grant your wishes! The bright green moss adds to the charm and history of the temple, as well as the cats here which are treasured for their soothing presence. #osakatrip #osaka #japan #japantrip #mytravelhacks #historicallandmarks #localguides #familytrip

Hozen-ji Temple

In the middle of all the hustle and bustle of Dotonbori is a wonderful temple that provides a bit of respite and peace. It would be easy to miss this tiny temple, but that would be a loss. Hidden in a maze of alley ways, and surrounded by shops and restaurants, this beautiful shrine has a sacred vibe. The temple is small and opens right into the alley, with it's famous moss covered statues. Visitors are collecting water from the fountain and pouring it over the statues, which is why the moss flourishes. Mizu-kake Fudo, an image of the Buddhist deity Fudo, the kami of fury is covered in moss after years of the water that is splashed on with prayers. It is interesting to see the shrine and temple next to each other almost utilizing the same space. #givethanks #givethanks
