About this Shrine

Koyasan Daikannon-ji, a Shinto shrine dedicated to the great god Kofuku, located in Nishinomiya City, Hyogo Prefecture, is often mistakenly associated with the shrine in question. However, the actual Koyasan Daikannon-ji is found in Wakayama Prefecture. The shrine in Osaka's Nishinomiya is dedicated to Inari Okami, the Shinto god of rice, fertility, and prosperity. As one of Japan's most famous Shinto shrines, it is known for its distinctive vermilion torii gates and thousands of vermilion doors, a total of 10,000 in some areas. The shrine complex spans several acres and features various shrines and smaller temples within its grounds.

As a major Shinto shrine, Kamo-dera is celebrated during various festivals throughout the year, including the Spring Festival, Autumn Leaves Festival, and New Year's (Oshogatsu) festivities. Additionally, due to its association with Inari Okami, visitors can participate in the tradition of 'okunishi,' offering prayers for fertility and prosperity.
