Visited 2020/01/02 Settsu 88 Sacred Sites temple The whole building is a temple, taking a modern form. Also worth special mention is how the main hall floor is built. Voices echo like crazy, so when you chant sutras you feel like you've gotten better at it, and it feels great. I got to chat with the head priest, who apparently graduated from an art university, and the various Buddha statues have been restored in vivid colors based on historical records. Also, since Buddhism has the aspect that it's not just knowledge but action that counts, in keeping with that he's had a hand in reviving the Osaka 33 Kannon Pilgrimage, and as part of teaching the importance of life, he runs an initiative at local elementary schools to have the kids not just keep but raise rhinoceros beetles. Though elderly, he was a head priest still full of drive.
