A short detour to Minoh Falls while we were heading to Katsuō-ji Temple in Osaka.
We were invited by our good friend Ryubun Kojima, 2019 President of JCI Osaka and the newly Elected 2020 JCI World Executive Vice President.
Minoh Waterfall isn’t a big waterfall but still beautiful. The hike is also very light, ideal for families & elderly. Surprisingly we met with a fellow JCI member who is a store owner in Mino Park. What a coincidence as one of his staff recognised my shirt with JCI logo on it.
It is great to be a jaycee, you have friends everywhere.
Then we head out to our main destination which is Katsuō-ji Temple. Upon arriving the Temple, through the scenic route, we were greeted warmly by the head monk ( Ryubun san). We were astonished at how beautiful the temple is, surrounded by mountains, trees and water. We were told that in autumn, the temple is one of the most visited place in Osaka due to its beautiful autumn colours. I cannot imagine how beautiful it is in autumn as it is already amazing in summer.
We had the opportunity to put our goals & prayers on the Daruma Dolls, had a brief history of the temple as well as why Katsuō-ji is one of the most respected temples in whole of Japan. Such an honour & uplifting experience.
Thank you JCI Osaka, Ryubun san, Akinobu san (JCI Osaka IA team) and our members from JCI Jayakarta who came and supported this friendship visit.
