Ishikiri Tsurugiya Shrine, Shinto shrine in Higashiōsaka, Japan

The main hall of Ishikiri Tsurugiya Shrine stands at the base of Mount Ikoma, featuring a 470-year-old designated natural monument camphor tree.

The shrine dates to Emperor Jinmu's reign and appears in Engishiki records as an inner shrine of Kawachi Province, despite fires destroying early buildings.

Visitors perform Hyakudo-san, walking between two Baidu stones as a prayer ritual, seeking blessings for health and recovery at this spiritual site.

The shrine is accessible via two railway stations: Shin-Ishikiri Station at 500 meters northeast and Ishikiri Station at 1.5 kilometers southwest.

The shrine's name translates to 'sword and arrow that cuts stone,' with its main deities being Nigihayahi no Mikoto and Umashimade no Mikoto.
