    Osaka Osakashi Tennouji-ku Karakiyochou 4-2
    A temple of the Buzan-ha sect of Shingon Buddhism. When Sanada Maru, a small fort of Osaka Castle, was built there was a tree that the locals believed to be sacred. Sanada Yukimura also prayed to this tree by stabbing it with sickle and that winter he had a great victory during the winter campaign of the siege of Osaka. It is believed that after his victory Sanada Yukimura then erected this small shrine. This temple is famous as Osaka's foremost temple and worshippers who visit to pray stick sickles into the tree. Photography is not prohibited on the premises.

    境内の榎の霊木に鎌を打付けて祈念するそうで、撮影禁止となっている境内には、その榎が立っていました。 現在は、真言宗豊山派の寺院となっており狭い境内ながら、悪縁を断つ為に訪れる参拝者は多いようでした。
