Location
Search for "ISKCON Osaka Center" on Google MapsThis temple's exact coordinates aren't confirmed yet, so the link above searches by name and city rather than pointing to a verified spot.
ISKCON’s Osaka Center serves Japan’s Hare Krishna community in the country’s second-largest metropolitan area, alongside the movement’s better-known Tokyo center (ISKCON New Gaya, already documented separately in this directory). Both are named together in Wikipedia’s survey of Hinduism in Japan as the movement’s two organized centers in the country, part of the wider Gaudiya Vaishnava tradition serving Japan’s Nepali, Indian, and Sri Lankan migrant communities under the international Founder-Acharya A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.
No founding date, exact address, or further descriptive detail could be confirmed from the source checked in this pass; this entry documents the confirmed existence and city of the Osaka center pending more specific sourcing.
Sources
- historical record: Cross-checked against Wikipedia's Hinduism in Japan article during this research pass: its list of Hindu temples in Japan names 'ISKCON Osaka Center' in Osaka alongside 'ISKCON New Gaya' in Tokyo (already documented separately in this directory) as the movement's two Japanese centers, serving Japan's Nepali, Indian, and Sri Lankan migrant communities.
For review
- No founding date, exact address, or architectural details could be confirmed from the source available in this session, which gives only a bare name-plus-city listing; recommend independent verification before treating details beyond the center's existence and city as settled. Follows the same convention already used for the ISKCON New Gaya, Tokyo entry in this directory, which rests on the same source.
