We do our last presentation in the Swiss Hotel at the joined meeting with Osaka South and Osaka Hommachi Rotary Club.
After the lunch Rotarian meeting, we visit Douguya-suji (Kitchen town) and have time to wander the small shops. After shopping for an hour, we visit Houzenji temple. Houzenji temple is a Jodo Buddhist temple built in the 17th century and the main part was destroyed in World War II. The Konpira Fodo and Mizukeke Fudo remain but is housed in a small temple area in the middle of restaurants, bars and shopping. The Mizukeke Fudo is covered with moss and visitors pour water over this statue and pray. Thanks to the Osaka South and Osaka Hommachi RC for hosting the cultural day.









I am so proud of you, my brother! When are you going to take Liz, Steve, and I to Japan and let us walk your walk?
