Ikasuri Shrine

Ikasuri Shrine is a place of worship in Kyūtarō-machi, central Osaka, arranged around a wooden gate and several buildings. The compound includes a main hall and smaller structures set among old trees and stone lanterns.

The foundation traces back to Empress Jingu, who wished to express gratitude to sea deities after a dangerous voyage from Korea. Later, during the Meiji period, it received classification as an imperial location of the second rank.

The shrine honors five kami deities collectively known as Zamagami, including two goddesses who are daughters of Toshigami.

The grounds are accessible during daylight hours and sit in a residential district that is easy to reach on foot. The annual festival on April 22 draws locals and visitors who want to take part in traditional ceremonies.

The five honored deities are collectively called Zamagami, with two female figures considered daughters of Toshigami. This connection to an agricultural deity reflects the importance of harvest cycles in local devotion.
