Imamiya Ebisu Shrine, Shinto shrine in Naniwa-ku, Osaka, Japan
Imamiya Ebisu Shrine stands as a central religious structure with traditional architecture located at 1-6-6-10 Ebisunishi in the Naniwa district of Osaka.
The shrine traces its origins to the year 600 during Empress Suiko's reign, when it was constructed as a guardian shrine for the Shitenno-ji Temple.
The shrine hosts the Toka Ebisu Festival each January, where fifty selected women called fuku-musume wear golden eboshi hats during traditional ceremonies.
Visitors can reach the shrine through Imamiya Ebisu Station or JR Shin Imamiya Station, with operating hours from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM daily.
The shrine receives more than 3,000 applications annually from women seeking to become fuku-musume, but only fifty are chosen for this ceremonial role.
