紅谷庵, Buddhist temple in Sakai, Japan
The Kongyoan temple stands within the ancient city of Sakai, featuring traditional Japanese architectural elements and carefully maintained meditation spaces.
During the Sengoku period, this temple witnessed the transformation of Sakai into a major trade center where merchant oligarchs controlled local governance.
The temple maintains connections to the traditional tea ceremonies that flourished in Sakai through the teachings of tea master Sen no Rikyu.
Visitors can reach the temple via the Nankai Koya Line from Namba Station, with a 15-minute train journey followed by a short walk.
The temple grounds provide a view of the Mozu-Furuichi Kofun burial mounds, including the massive Daisen Kofun measuring 486 meters in length.
