Anyo-ji is a Jodo-shu temple in Kishinohigashi, Osaka, founded in 1689 by Teiyo Seikun and affiliated with Isshin-ji. Its main hall, rebuilt in 1959 after fires in 1887 and 1945, enshrines an Amida Buddha. The grounds hold graves of O-san, wife of Kamiya Jihei from Chikamatsu Monzaemon's play Shinju Ten no Amijima, kyoka poet Sato Gyomaru, and sumo wrestler Inagawa Yaemon.

Anyo-ji was founded in 1689 by Teiyo Seikun as a Jodo-shu temple affiliated with Isshin-ji, with Amida Buddha as its principal image. A fire in 1887 and the Osaka air raids of 1945 destroyed the buildings; the present hall was rebuilt in 1959.

The temple grounds hold the graves of three figures from Osaka's cultural and sporting past: O-san, wife of the paper merchant Jihei in Chikamatsu Monzaemon's puppet play Shinju Ten no Amijima; the kyoka poet Sato Uomaru, heir to the school of Taiya Teiryu; and Inagawa Yaemon, a celebrated wrestler of Osaka sumo. Visitors come to see these graves.

Anyo-ji stands at 1-7-15 Kishinohigashi, Nishi-ku, Osaka; the nearest tram stop is Shotenbashi on the Hankai Uemachi line, about five minutes on foot. The temple belongs to the Jodo sect as a branch of Isshin-ji. Visitors come mainly to see the graves in the precinct.
