Hommachi & Midosuji

Home to Kita-mido and Minami-mido, the temples that gave Midosuji its name.

Hommachi sits midway along Midosuji, the grand avenue running north to south through Osaka. The avenue takes its name from two temples on its route: Kita-mido (Hongwanji Tsumura Betsuin) and Minami-mido (Shinshu Otani-ha Namba Betsuin). In winter, Midosuji is lit up with illuminations.
