Ryuanji Temple, nestled in Minoo Park, is a historic site founded by En no Gyoja and known as one of Japan's Four Great Benzaiten temples. It's also famous as the birthplace of the Japanese lottery. Visitors can explore the temple's serene grounds, admire the Benzaiten statue (believed to grant blessings for wealth and artistic talent), and enjoy the surrounding natural beauty of Minoo Park. The temple is a 15-minute walk from Minoo Station on the Hankyu Minoo Line, making it easily accessible. The best time to visit is during the autumn foliage season for stunning views.
