Hozenji Temple in Osaka, Japan is not just your average temple for a few reasons!
1. This temple is located literally within the hustling bustling
downtown area of Dotonbori in Osaka, Japan - and yet, it
remains quiet, atmospheric, and even otherworldly
2. This temple is one of the only places in this area that
survived the bombings of WW2, making it a rare historical
place
3. It's ultimately famous for a statue that is covered in moss!
One lady watered it and made a wish that came true, so people continue to do the same in the hope of good luck!
It's really interesting to see the moss covered statues, and you can even take place by throwing water on them yourself.
