In the wooded mountains of Minoh, in northern Osaka, Katsuoji Temple, known as the Temple of Victory, is alive with Daruma figures, reminders of perseverance and resolve. Here, victory is not loud or fleeting, but enduring, carried in the spirit of each visitor who leaves a Daruma behind.

Discover the Uemachi Plateau, the heart of Osaka, exploring centuries of heritage, from samurai to shrine, and its influences on Japan’s reunification.
