About this Shrine

Shitennō-ji, located in Osaka's Osaka Castle Park, is one of Japan's oldest and most important Shinto shrines. Founded in 578 CE by Prince Shōtoku, the shrine enshrines the Buddha and ten other deities, but its primary kami is that of Shitennoji-inari, a variation of Inari Okami, which protects the rice fields and agriculture of Osaka.

Cultural Significance

Shitennoji is renowned for its impressive collection of ancient artifacts, including Buddhist sculptures and temple furnishings. It also celebrates various festivals throughout the year, such as the Spring Festival (Haru Matsuri) and the Autumn Leaves Festival (Koyo Matsuri), which showcase the shrine's rich cultural heritage.
