History

Byakko

Hozen-ji is a temple that stands quietly in the bustling district of Namba, known as "O-Hatsutenjin," dedicated to the Aizenshin. It is famous for the water-pouring Fudo and features a unique form of worship where devotees pour water on the Fudo Myoo while making their wishes. Also known as the setting of Chikamatsu Monzaemon's "The Lovers' Suicide at Sonezaki," it attracts people from across the nation seeking fulfillment of romantic love. Despite being in the midst of the hustle and bustle of the entertainment district, it maintains a solemn atmosphere and possesses a mysterious charm as a sacred place.
