Naniwa Shrine

Naniwa Shrine, Shinto shrine in Naniwa-ku, Osaka, Japan

Naniwa Shrine is a Shinto shrine in Naniwa-ku, Osaka, a branch shrine (keidai massha) of the Ikasuri Shrine. Its grounds hold a main hall (honden), a shrine office and a sumo ring, plus three small subsidiary shrines: Shiragane, Shiratatsu and Shirahige Inari. It enshrines Ikasuri no Okami together with Sarutahiko no Okami and Shirahige no Okami.

Naniwa Shrine was founded as an off-site subsidiary shrine (keigai massha) of Ikasuri Shrine by members of the Watanabe clan, the family that served as guardians of that shrine, when part of the clan moved to this area. It enshrines the same five deities as Ikasuri Shrine under the name Ikasuri no Okami, together with Sarutahiko no Okami.

The shrine is a place where people come in the morning or evening to pray and seek good fortune. Visitors wash their hands and mouth at a small fountain before praying, a sign of respect for the gods they honor.

Naniwa Shrine is reached on foot in about 6 minutes from Kizugawa Station on the Nankai Electric Railway Shiomibashi Line, or in about 14 minutes from Imamiya Station on the JR Osaka Loop Line and Yamatoji Line. The shrine stands in Naniwa-nishi 3-chome, Naniwa-ku, Osaka. Its summer festival is held on 21 and 22 July, when futon-daiko drums are paraded through the streets.

Naniwa Shrine is a branch shrine (keigai massha) of the Ikasuri Shrine, founded when part of the Watanabe clan, who served as the parent shrine's guardians, moved to this area. Its grounds also hold a sumo ring and three small subordinate shrines: Shiragane, Shiratatsu and Shirahige Inari.
