오사카시의 사찰과 신사

Osaka's Sacred Temples & Shrines

Osaka’s spiritual landscape spans nearly two millennia, from the 3rd-century Sumiyoshi Taisha, showcasing rare Sumiyoshi-zukuri architecture, to Shitennoji, one of Japan’s first Buddhist foundations. This selection includes the iconic lion-headed Namba Yasaka Shrine, the moss-clad Mizukake Fudo at Hozen-ji, and Sukunahikona-jinja, the center of medicine worship. These sites reflect the city's history through imperial connections, merchant traditions, and unique rituals like the creation of bone-ash Buddha statues at Isshin-ji.
