About this Shrine

Located in the heart of Osaka, the Ōnami Jingū Shrine is dedicated to the Shitennō-ji, a legendary temple said to have been founded by Prince Shotoku in 593 CE. The shrine's primary kami is Taika no Okami, also known as Taira no Okami, but it also enshrines other important deities like Kannon, Fujin, and Raijin. Visitors can explore the shrine's traditional architecture, which reflects its Heian period origins.

Cultural Significance

As one of Osaka's oldest shrines, Ōnami Jingū is deeply connected to the region's history and mythology. The shrine's name means 'Great Sun Goddess' and reflects its association with Taika no Okami, a powerful kami said to have protected the emperor from harm.
