Hozenji Yokocho 法善寺横丁

Eighty metres of alley, three wide, and a Fudō green with moss from the water thrown over it.

Originally part of the land of Hozen-ji temple, the alley was destroyed by the bombing of the Second World War and rebuilt after the war as a street of bars and eateries. The statue of the Mizukake Fudō is among the few things left standing. The place entered the language of Osaka through the novel ‘Meoto Zen⁠zai’ and the song ‘Tsuki no Hozenji Yokocho’.
