    Osaka Osakashi Sumiyoshi-ku Sumiyoshi 2-9-89
    Known affectionately as “Sumiyossan,” the Sumiyoshi Taisha (Sumiyoshi Grand Shrine) is a Shinto Shrine located in the Sumiyoshi Ward of Osaka City, in Osaka Prefecture. It is the head shrine of all the Sumiyoshi shrines in Japan, of which there are around 2,300 in total. The Sumiyoshi Taisha is one of the most popular shrines in the Kinki region for the Hatsumode (the first visit to a shrine in the New Year), and it is thronged with worshippers every January. The founding of the Sumiyoshi Taisha is recorded in the Nihon Shoki (“Chronicles of Japan”), which notes that the Empress Jingu ordered the construction of the shrine to worship Sumiyoshi no Ohkami. Sumiyoshi no Ohkami (which is actually three Shinto deities in one) is renowned as the god of the sea and the god of exorcism. The four halls that make up the Hon-den (main hall) of the Sumiyoshi Taisha are built in the architectural style known as Sumiyoshi-zukuri; all four have been designated as National Treasures.

    Osaka Osakashi Hirano-ku Hiranomiyamachi 2-1-67
    Kumata-jinja Shrine was built in 862, giving it a long and storied history. The main shrine building is designated a National Important Cultural Property, and is the oldest wooden building in Osaka City. The shrine grounds host Japan's only Renga (linked poem) space, where a Renga meeting is held every month. They also run an Internet Renga on the shrine's web page. The Hirano Danjiri Matsuri, one of Osaka's grandest festivals, is a must-see. The festival is held for four days from July 11th to the 14th every year. They say more than 300,000 spectators come every year. Held along the Hirano River east of JR Hirano Station, the festival days see nine large Danjiri floats carried to the shrines main Daimon Gate in a magnificent spectacle.

    Osaka Osaka-shi Hirano-ku Nagayoshinagahara 2-chome 8-23

    所縁の地を探して見てまわりました。神社の場所がわかりにくいところにありますし、道も少し狭いです。神社前の鳥居は少し広いです。駐車場も二台くらいしか停めるスペースがありません。真田信繁が戦勝祈願をした神社ということまでは聞いていました。大河ドラマ真田丸の影響もあり、お詣りしていた人がいました。神社にお詣りしたついでに御朱印していただきました。

    Osaka Osaka-shi Higashisumiyoshi-ku Kuwazu 3-4-17

    やはり西日本における天神信仰は厚いようであり、私が訪問した時もご近所の人が手を合わせていました。また、この地域に商圏を持っているであろうヤクルトおばさんもわざわざ自転車をおりて、境内まで入って行く様子も見られて地域に深く根ざしている様が感じられました。
