About this Shrine

Located in the heart of Kashibaricho, a small district in Kishiwada City, Osaka Prefecture, San no Maru Shrine is an ancient Shinto shrine dedicated to the god of the sun and fire. The shrine's name, 'San no Maru,' refers to its original location on a hill with three concentric circles. Over time, the shrine has been rebuilt twice due to fires, but it continues to be an important cultural and historical landmark in the region.

Cultural Significance

San no Maru Shrine is famous for its 'kagami-biraki,' a traditional New Year's ceremony where two mirrors are hung from the main hall and filled with sacred water. This ritual is said to purify the mind and bring good luck for the coming year.
