Namba Betsuin, Buddhist temple in Kyutaro-machi, Japan

The Namba Betsuin temple stands as a religious center with bright halls, wooden beams, and traditional architectural elements in central Osaka.

Established in 1596 by the 12th Monshu Kyonyo, the temple served as the headquarters of the Otani branch of Shin Buddhism until 1603.

The temple grounds include regular Buddhist lectures, ceremonies, monthly scripture readings, and summer festivals that connect the local community.

Located one minute south of Honmachi Station on the Midosuji Line, the temple opens daily from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM without closure days.

The temple grounds contain a stone monument inscribed with the final poem of Matsuo Basho, a renowned Japanese poet.
