About this Shrine

Located in the heart of Osaka, 延命地蔵 is a Shinto shrine dedicated to the god of medicine and healing. Built during the Kamakura period (1185-1333), the shrine's architecture reflects traditional Japanese design with its wooden torii gate and tiled roof. The shrine's primary enshrined deity is Sengoku Tokitsu no Kami, while it also venerates other deities such as Suijin and Katsuragi Okami.

Cultural Significance

延命地蔵 is closely tied to the mythology of Suijin, the god of water, who is believed to offer healing powers through his association with springs and wells. During the annual spring festival, visitors can participate in rituals involving water and purification.
