Senkouji Temple (全興寺)

Hirano-ku

Famed for its playful depictions of hell, this temple is an interesting place to glimpse the Buddhist afterlife. Answers to a quick survey will tell you whether you are headed for heaven or hell. And even if it isn't in your destiny, you can take a quick walk through the tunnels of hell, or place your head inside a rock to hear hell's cauldrons bubbling from underground. There's also a heavenly hall filled with Buddhas, a Buddha selfie spot, and lots of interesting souvenirs like demon-shaped candies and fortunes that come with demon-shaped figurines.
