Katsuoji Temple.
Plan transport to the temple separately from the Minoh waterfall trail. Check the official bus guidance, admission hours and return services before combining the two places in one day.
The story behind this place
Temple tradition says prayers for Emperor Seiwa’s recovery led to a name meaning victory over a king. The monks changed one character to avoid claiming superiority over the emperor, keeping the same pronunciation. This story lies behind Katsuoji’s association with overcoming challenges.
