A Power Spot for Love and Success；Aizen-do Shoman-i
Aizen-do Shoman-in, also known as "Aizen-san", is a temple located in Osaka, Japan. It was established in 593 by Prince Shotoku as one of the four institutions of Shitenno-ji, known as "Seyaku-in". Seyaku-in was a welfare facility that cultivated medicinal herbs and provided them to people according to their illnesses. The temple later came to be known as "Shoman-in" after Prince Shotoku lectured on the Shoman Sutra and enshrined a statue of Lady Shri-mara (Shoman Fujin) in the main hall.
The temple is home to the deity Aizen Myo-o, who is famous for granting good matches, marital harmony, and business prosperity. This has made Aizen-do Shoman-in a popular power spot for those seeking these blessings.
The temple boasts several significant structures and cultural assets. The Tahoto Pagoda, rebuilt by Toyotomi Hideyoshi in 1597, is the oldest wooden structure in Osaka. The Kondo (main hall), rebuilt by Tokugawa Hidetada in 1618, is a designated cultural property of Osaka Prefecture.
The Aizen Festival, held from June 30 to July 2, is one of the three major summer festivals in Osaka. The festival, which attracts about 200,000 visitors annually, features the opening of the temple's main deity and the distribution of "Hana-mamori", a charm associated with the festival.
Aizen-do Shoman-in is located at 5-36 Yuhigaoka-cho, Tennoji-ku, Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture, 543-0075. For inquiries, you can reach them at TEL 06-6779-5800.
