Join us on the first day of summer as we hike from Minoh Station through lush green forests to the stunning and often-photographed Katsuoji Temple, famous for its colorful Daruma dolls. Along the way, we explore the deep cultural traditions of this sacred spot — where athletes pray for victory, and students for academic success. Plus, it’s hydrangea season, and the temple gardens are bursting with color. Come along for a peaceful yet inspiring journey into Japan’s spiritual and natural beauty.
夏の初日に、箕面駅から緑あふれる森を抜けて、写真映えスポットとしても有名な勝尾寺へハイキング！カラフルなダルマで知られるこのお寺では、地元のスポーツチームが必勝祈願に、高校生たちが合格祈願に訪れます。この時期はあじさいも見ごろで、境内を美しく彩っています。自然と伝統が交わる、癒しと願いの旅に出かけましょう。
