Its scenic grounds, dotted with numerous red daruma dolls, make it a popular destination for travelers from around the world. Located halfway up a mountain and surrounded by nature, Katsuo-ji offers a chance to experience Japan’s seasonal beauty throughout the year.

It’s a great spot for those looking to see a different side of Osaka beyond the bustling city and enjoy some time in nature.   ▼Check this article▼ What is the highlight of Katsuo-ji in Minoh? A temple of luck to win in Osaka sightseeing Now, let’s go over how to get to Katsuo-ji Temple from central Osaka. To reach Katsuo-ji from the Umeda or Namba area, first take the Osaka Metro Midosuji Line.   There’s a great value ticket called the “Katsuo-ji Temple & Osaka Metro Pass North Plus 1-Day Set Ticket“, which includes unlimited rides on Osaka Metro and the Kita-Osaka Kyuko Line, as well as admission to Katsuo-ji Temple, so if you’re traveling from downtown Osaka, be sure to check it out. *Please note that the fare for the Hankyu Bus is not included in this ticket. The Osaka Metro Midosuji Line is one of the most frequently used lines by international travelers, with major stations like Umeda, Shinsaibashi, Namba, Tennoji, and Shin-Osaka.   One important thing to keep in mind is the train’s final destination. While heading toward Minoh-Kayano Station, some trains only go as far as Shin-Osaka or Nakatsu and do not reach the final stop. Be sure to check the destination display and confirm that the train goes all the way to Minoh-Kayano. After arriving at Minoh-Kayano Station, transfer to a Hankyu Bus.   But here’s an important point to note! Minoh-Kayano Station is operated by Kita-Osaka Kyuko Railway, not Osaka Metro. Since the wo railways are interconnected, you might not realize you’ve left the Osaka Metro line since Esaka Station during your ride. If you’re using a transportation pass, be sure to check in advance whether your pass is valid for travel to Minoh-Kayano Station.   The following passes can be used at Minoh-Kayano Station: Nara & Ikaruga 1-Day Ticket [Kita-Osaka Kyuko version] Koyasan Outing Ticket [Kita-Osaka Kyuko version] Hirapa Go!Go! Ticket [Kita-Osaka Kyuko version] Osaka Metro & Kita-Osaka Kyuko 1-Day Pass Katsuo-ji Temple & Osaka Metro Pass North Plus 1-Day Set Ticket   For the following special-offer tickets, you must pay the fare difference at Minoh-Kayano Station. Surutto KANSAI Osaka Amazing Pass Osaka Metro 26-Hour Ticket Osaka Metro 48-Hour Ticket Osaka Amazing Pass 1-Day (2-Days) Osaka Itami Airport Edition …and others. If you are using one of the special-offer tickets listed above, please settle the difference between the fare for the area covered by the special-offer ticket and the actual fare at the fare adjustment machine located near the ticket gate before exiting. A ticket will be issued after you settle the fare. When exiting the station, please insert only the ticket into the ticket gate.   *Note: Payment is by cash only. **When returning to downtown Osaka from Katsuo-ji Temple, please purchase a 240-yen ticket to Esaka Station from the ticket vending machine. When entering through the ticket gate, insert only the ticket into the gate; at your destination station, please present both the ticket and your special-rate ticket to an Osaka Metro staff. Buses from Minoh-Kayano Station to Katsuo-ji Temple: No: 30 Travel time: About 25 minutes Frequency: 2 to 3 buses per hour Fare: Adult¥800, Children¥400 one-way The number of buses differs between weekdays and weekends/holidays, so it’s best to check the Hankyu Bus website in advance for the latest schedule.   ▶ Hankyu Bus Timetable from Minoh-Kayano Station   As you can see from the station platform, the Hankyu Bus stop is located on the first floor. Exit the north ticket gate at Minoh-Kayano Station and take the escalator immediately to your right (next to the Station Building of Minoh Q’s Mall) to go down. The bus to Katsuo-ji Temple departs from Bus Stop No. 8.    Please note that when searching on Google Maps, a different bus may appear. The direct bus to Katsuo-ji Temple is Route 30, departing from Platform 8.   To give you an idea of how crowded it can get— On a weekday morning in September, about 40 people were already lined up when we arrived just five minutes before departure, and there were no available seats left. If it’s this crowded on a weekday, weekends and holidays during the autumn foliage season are likely to be even busier. We recommend allowing plenty of time in your schedule when visiting. On Hankyu Buses, please board through the back door. Fares can be paid only with IC cards such as ICOCA or Suica, or with cash. If you have an IC card, please tap it on the reader when boarding.   You’ll pay the fare when getting off the bus by inserting cash into the fare machine next to the driver. If you need change, use the same machine before paying your fare. After getting change, insert the exact amount (800 yen). If you’re using an IC card, just tap it again when you get off—no need to insert anything. You cannot add credit on the train, so please add credit before boarding.   If the bus is full or you want to save time, taking a taxi is a convenient option.   From Minoh-Kayano Station to Katsuo-ji Temple Travel Time: Approximately 20 minutes Fare: Around 3,400 yen   The taxi stand at Minoh-Kayano Station is located at the South Transportation Plaza. It’s easiest to use the South Exit Gate of the station. From Bus Stop No. 8, simply cross the street—it’s right in front of you. If you’ve come all the way to Katsuo-ji Temple, you might also want to visit Minoh Waterfall, one of the most famous waterWaterfall in the region. Although it’s in the same Minoh area, transportation options are limited, so it’s best to check in advance.   ▼Where is Minoh Waterfall? Check this article▼ https://enjoy-osaka-kyoto-kobe.com/special/minoh-special/   There are no direct buses from Katsuo-ji to Minoh Waterfall, so you have three main options: 1. Walk 2. Take a taxi 3. Take a bus from Katsuo-ji, transfer at Minoh-Kayano Station and Minoh Station, then head to Minoh Waterfall   In the past, a special “Minoh Takimichi One-Way Sightseeing Bus” used to connect Hankyu Minoh Station, Minoh Waterfall, and Katsuo-ji Temple.

Price: Around 1,500 yen.   There is a taxi stand at Katsuo-ji Temple. Even if no taxis are waiting, a free direct-call phone is available to call one. Here’s how to get there by bus, though it’s not the most recommended route—it takes nearly 1 hour and 30 minutes and costs over 1,000 yen due to the longer travel time.   Route: From Katsuo-ji Temple, take the Hankyu Bus and get off at Minoh-Kayano Station (about 25 minutes). Transfer to another Hankyu Bus heading toward Minoh Station and get off there (about 15 minutes). From Minoh Station, walk to Minoh Waterfall (about 40 minutes). After taking in the view of Minoh Waterfall, we recommend walking along the riverside trail toward Hankyu Minoh Station. The path is a gently sloping, paved road that’s easy to walk on, perfect for enjoying a bit of forest bathing. Along the way, you’ll also find food stalls, cafés, and souvenir shops—plenty of chances to satisfy your appetite. The walk from Minoh Waterfall to Hankyu Minoh Station takes about 40 minutes.   ▼Check this article▼ Note on how to get to Minoh Waterfall!
