Daishō kannon-ji

The temple complex features a grand main hall, multiple shrine buildings, and ceremonial structures arranged around a central courtyard with a white dragon pond.

Founded in 546, the temple received a sacred Kannon statue from King Seong of Baekje and was later reconstructed by Prince Shotoku in 607.

The temple serves as the headquarters of the Kannon sect and holds major ceremonies during the first week of February for protection against misfortune.

Visitors can reach the temple within three minutes on foot from Abiko Station on the Osaka Metro Midosuji Line or five minutes from JR Abikochō Station.

The temple grounds contain an 800-year-old camphor tree designated as a protected natural monument by Osaka City government.
