Ive been trying to go to Osamu Tezuka Manga Museum in Takarazuka since I found out about the place three years ago. I got there 20 minutes early , so I decided to stroll around and I found out that Kiyoshikojin Seichoji is just 1.6km away, so off I went. Took me about 30 minutes from Hankyu Takarazuka line: Takarazuka Station to the temple and it was worth it. The place is so calm and relaxing. I think I was the only foreigner there It is a great place for temple hopping and meditatin.

Kiyoshikoujin Seichouji was founded during the early Heian Period (9th century), wishing for the realization of Emperor Uda’s idea of ideal nation - a nation which was supported and protected by Buddhism, peaceful, prosperous and had good relation with neighboring countries.

In the end, I was not able to go to the Manga Museum. I got so tired and hungry and decide to come home
