About this Shrine

Outumae-sa in Osaka's Osaka-shi ward is one of the oldest Shinto shrines dedicated to Inari Okami, with its origins dating back to the Heian period (794-1185). The current main hall was rebuilt during the Kamakura period (1185-1333), while the shrine's Osaka branch, Osaka-bu-in, was established in the Edo period (1603-1868).

The shrine complex features a unique architectural style blending elements of ancient and modern designs. Inari Okami is revered as the patron deity of rice, industry, and fertility. Visitors can explore the shrine's many halls and grounds, including the sacred forest where sacred trees have been cultivated for centuries.

A must-visit during the autumn season is the annual Autumn Leaf Festival (Koyo Matsuri), which honors Inari Okami with vibrant autumn foliage displays.

In the spring, locals bring offerings to the shrine's 'Furin' bell tower and pray for good luck in the coming year.

At night, the shrine's tranquil atmosphere is illuminated by lanterns and twinkling lights, creating a serene ambiance.

For visitors seeking an authentic experience, we recommend bringing a small bundle of sweet rice (chankonabe) as an offering to Inari Okami, symbolizing gratitude for prosperity.

Cultural Significance
