Kabusan-ji, Buddhist temple in Takatsuki, Japan

The temple houses three principal Bishamonten statues within its compounds, located on a forested hill in northern Osaka Prefecture.

Founded in 697 by En no Gyoja, the temple gained prominence when Prince Kaisei established it as a Tendai Buddhist institution in 774.

The temple maintains daily fire rituals called goma, which monks perform to grant spiritual protection and success to worshippers.

Visitors can reach the temple by taking a city bus from JR Takatsuki Station north exit, followed by a 1.3-kilometer walk uphill.

The temple grounds include a ceremonial space where Edo period rice merchants predicted market prices by measuring sacred rope lengths.
