Mondo-Yakujin, also known as Shotaizan Tokoji Temple, is a Buddhist temple in Nishinomiya.
Nishinomiya is just 17 minutes from Osaka by train on the Hankyu Imazu Line.
On the 18th and 19th January every year the Warding Off Evil Festival takes place here. Every year hundreds of thousands of people from all over Japan come to Mondo-Yakujin for the festival.
Chanting Buddhist monks at the entrance to the Temple welcome visitors.
To offer prayers for the protection against evil, it is believed that by climbing one step at a time, each step sheds a misfortune. Men climb a route of 42 steps, whilst women ascend the side with 33 steps.
Smoke from burning incense is used for healing. People waft the smoke to parts of the body they want healed.
It is believed the temple was founded by Kōbō-Daishi in 829. Kōbō-Daishi (774–835) was a Japanese Buddhist monk who founded the Shingon or True Word school of Buddhism.
Frog is 'kaeru' in Japanese, and kaeru also means to return. Here, there are frog statues where you can pray for things once lost to return.
Also here is Takano-san Okunoin - the root of an 800 year-old cedar tree. People touch the root in the hope of prolonging life.
People buy omikuji (fortunes), and to help stop any bad predictions coming true they tie them in a bow on a frame. A petrified tree trunk (in the ground for 80 million years) is thought to hold the magical powers of nature.
In the Jizodo, on behalf of paying worshippers, monks will offer prayers to Jizo - the most popular Buddha in Japan.

My name is Rob Dyer.
I was born in England and have been exploring Japan since 2000. In 2001 I married my Japanese wife in a traditional ceremony in a Shinto Shrine.
My wife and I now split my time between Japan and the UK.
As The Real Japan, I share inspiration and resources for discovering and exploring Japan beyond the cliches - The Real Japan. I have a passion for those off-the-beaten track places and I love to share my experiences.
If you're really serious about discovering and exploring The Real Japan, I've personally put together a free guide to Amazing Adventures in Japan that you really need to get a copy of. In that guide I cover 5 (actually there's 6 - but don't tell anyone!) unforgettable adventures in Japan, spanning the northern most and coldest island of Hokkaido, through the main island of Honshu, and down to the sub-tropical southern island of Okinawa. What's more, 2 of those amazing adventures are completely free - so won't cost you a penny!

Imazu - Nishinomiya Kitaguchi commute view
EDIT: I discovered that the narrator at 0:49 doesn't say something about the station being an intersection, but is telling the passengers they can exit the train from the left side.
As I'm currently studying in Japan, I decided to show my family the AMAZING view I have from the train on (this half of) my commute.
I subtitled it, but cannot guarantee that what I wrote is the exact translation. This is just my interpretation considering context and past experiences. Please enjoy the view!

not much going on in nishinomiya (mondo yakujin actually), but well enjoy?

ふら～り阪急沿線 初詣2012 門戸厄神@西宮市〔STEADICAM MERLIN〕
毎年恒例にしておる阪急電車のニューイヤーチケットを利用しての門戸厄神から清荒神への初詣に行ってきました。
昨年に引き続き参拝の様子を撮影しました。
門戸厄神(門戸厄神東光寺)は高野山真言宗別格本山で、正式名は松泰山東光寺といいます。嵯峨天皇の41歳の厄年にあたる天長6年に、空海（弘法大師）により厄除祈願が行われました。その際嵯峨天皇は愛染明王と不動明王が一体となって厄神明王となりあらゆる厄を打ち払うという霊感を得、空海に祈願を命じた。空海は愛染明王と不動明王が一体となった厄神明王像（両頭愛染明王像）を三体刻み、高野山の天野社、山城の岩清水八幡宮、門戸東光寺へそれぞれ国家安泰、皇家安泰、国民安泰を願って勧請したが、現在残っているのは東光寺のもののみだそうです。

53 Florian auf Tour - Nishinomiya - Auf den Spuren von Haruhi Suzumiya
Als letzte Station meines Osaka-Ausflugs vom 17.-18.08.2017 bin ich in die Stadt Nishinomiya nahe Osaka gefahren, um am Vormittag das Koshien-Oberschul-Baseballturnier zu schauen und am Nachmittag weiter Richtung Stadtzentrum und bis zur Koyoen-Station zu gehen, da dort die heiligen Pilgerstätte von dem Anime Die Melancholie der Haruhi Suzumiya vorzufinden sind.
Viel Vergnügen beim Anschauen.
