来迎寺

Raikoji Temple occupies a central location in Moriguchi City, featuring traditional Japanese architectural elements with a main hall named Houkouden and multiple auxiliary buildings.

The temple traces its origins to 859 when Emperor Seiwa established it, and the principal Buddha statue appeared to monk Gyokyo during his prayers at Nara's Daianji Temple.

The temple maintains a calendar of Buddhist ceremonies throughout the year, starting with New Year rituals in January and concluding with bell ringing ceremonies on December 31st.

Visitors can reach the temple by taking a bus from Dainichi Station on the Osaka Metro Tanimachi Line or from Moriguchi Station, followed by a 5-minute walk.

The temple houses a memorial stone marking the spot where, according to records from 1743, a female ghost appeared during evening prayers requesting Buddhist chants.
