Osaka Sakaishi Sakai-ku Kitamikunigaokachou 2-2-1

Locals call the deity of this shrine Mr. Hochigai. It has been here for many years, and has long guided them on matters of orientation, the land and Feng Shui, so they don't build in inauspicious ways. The shrine is located in Sakai City, on the north side of Emperor Hansei's tomb, and was once a way-point on the Kumano pilgrimage. Many Kumano pilgrims would pray here for a safe journey. An annual festival is held at the shrine every year on May 31st. Worshippers who have offered up an earthen-wrapped chimaki (steamed rice dumpling) to this deity receive a chimaki sweet on the day of the festival.

In Ancient and Medieval Japan, they used to believe that leaving for the right direction is very important especially when you make a long journey or move to another house. Hochigai literally...

道明寺駅下りて徒歩数分。商店街を抜けた先にあります。週末早朝訪問。炎天下とあってウォーキングやジョギングにはハードル高め。北野や太宰府と学問の神様にあやかりたい方には天満宮巡礼の旅もいとをかし。撫で牛もありますが、時節柄お触りは控えた方が良いでしょう。
