安岡寺, Buddhist temple in Takatsuki, Japan

Ankoji Temple stands on Mount Minami, featuring a main hall dedicated to Nyoirin Kannon and traditional Japanese architectural elements from the Edo period.

Founded in 775 by Prince Kaisei, son of Emperor Konin, the temple underwent multiple reconstructions after fires during the Muromachi and Azuchi-Momoyama periods.

The temple preserves a wooden Senju Kannon statue from the late Heian period, designated as an Important Cultural Property of Japan.

Access requires a 15-minute walk from Urado bus stop after taking a city bus from JR Takatsuki Station North Exit for approximately 15 minutes.

The temple acquired its name when monk Kaichi transcribed the Great Perfection of Wisdom Sutra, placing each character on individual stones behind the temple grounds.
