About this Shrine

Located in the Katsura District of Osaka, 小坂神社 is a Shinto shrine dedicated to the gods of rice and fertility. The shrine's architecture reflects the Heian period (794-1185 CE) with its characteristic tiled roofs and wooden pillars. In the Edo period (1603-1868 CE), the shrine underwent renovations and expansions. Today, visitors can still see remnants of these historic changes.

Cultural Significance

小坂神社 is associated with the god of rice, Inari Okami, and is also revered for its role in ensuring a bountiful harvest. The shrine's annual Rice Festival, 'Gohara Matsuri', celebrates this tradition with traditional performances, food stalls, and festivities.
