宝珠院, Buddhist temple in Kita-ku, Japan

The temple buildings display traditional Japanese wooden architecture with curved roofs, central prayer halls, and supporting pavilions along the perimeter of the grounds.

Founded during the religious expansion period of Japanese Buddhism, Hōshū-in Temple developed into a center of spiritual practice in northern Osaka.

The temple maintains regular ceremonies following Pure Land Buddhist traditions, where visitors participate in meditation sessions and traditional Buddhist rituals.

Located within walking distance from central Osaka stations, the temple opens daily from sunrise to sunset with a nominal entrance fee for non-worshippers.

The temple grounds contain a collection of stone lanterns dating from different periods, each bearing inscriptions that tell stories of past donors.
