About this Shrine

清見原神社 is a Shinto shrine located in Osaka, dedicated to the kami of Clear Water Origin. The shrine's name reflects its association with the nearby Kizuki River, which is said to have been created by the kami's purifying waters. The shrine's architecture is characteristic of Edo-period (1603-1867) Shinto shrines, featuring a rectangular vermilion torii gate and a wooden main hall.

Cultural Significance

As a Shinto shrine associated with the creation of the Kizuki River, 清見原神社 is said to be a place where the boundaries between heaven and earth are thin. During the spring festival (Hanami), visitors can enjoy traditional dances performed by local performers, accompanied by the sounds of drums and flutes.
