I would like to inform Senkoji temple in Osaka city.

I ride JR train, get off at Hirano station.
I walk south from the station about 15 minutes, arrive at Senkoji temple.

This temple was built at 600, by Shotoku-Taishi.
This Temple's entrance is merchandise street.

I go to main temple.

In the main temple, there are Yakushi-Nyorai at center, both sides are Bosatsu Budda.

Next is Hell Museum.


At the entrance, Check machine for Hell and Heaven.
You have to answer for 10 questions.
According to the evidence, you are selected to Hell or Heaven.

In the museum, Enma king exists.


His right side is Hell statue, left side is Adjudicator.

When you hit the drum under Enma king, Enma king starts to speak.

The video shows hell’s situation.
It is not terrible for adults people, but for children it is terribleness.
The end of video, Enma king say 'For not going to hell, not to do a bad thing, to cherish your life.'

Hell Museum was built at 1989.

I thought junior and senior high school students' bullying and suicide were big social problem then, and Mr. Kawaguchi, the chief priest could do something, and planned in order to express that it's damned realistically when doing a bad thing.


There is a stone at the exit of this museum, you enter your head in the stone, you can hear hell's sound.

Next is "Buddhist country".

There are 151 stone statues are principal Buddha and Mr. Kobodaishi.
Central stained glass is Mandala of esoteric Buddhism.

Everything of space economy drew the Budda's world with Mandala, and is an included plan. It's wrapped in the life which is the Budda when I sit down on Mandala and meditate, and the state which becomes united with the Budda soon is being opened.


Finally I go to Cheep snack shop Museum.

This museum shows Middle of Showa period
Lots of toys and Electrical appliance.

This temple has many displays and amusements.
Please visit Senkoji temple.

That's it.
