Kamitsu-jinja, Shinto shrine in Japan

Kamitsu-jinja is a small Shinto shrine in Osaka with traditional architecture and a tidy, welcoming layout. The grounds include a traditional gate at the entrance, a small courtyard, and wooden structures such as the main hall where offerings are made and smaller spaces for different rituals.

A 1710 ridge plaque found during the 1929 hall rebuilding records that the shrine was invited here during the Tensho era (1573–1592); old records were lost to flooding of the Nakatsu and Kanzaki rivers. It was listed as a village shrine in 1872 and merged eight neighbouring shrines in 1909. In 1911 it absorbed the Sarutahiko Shrine of Kojima and took the name Kamitsu-jinja; the hall was rebuilt in 1972.

The name Kamitsu-jinja dates from 1911, when the shrine merged the Sarutahiko Shrine of Kojima and took its present title; the earlier 1909 merger absorbed eight shrines from neighbouring hamlets. The grounds also hold the Juso Ebisu Shrine, invited from Imamiya Ebisu in 1956, whose festival runs 9–11 January. On the 13th of each month the Juso-ichi market fills the precinct, except when the 13th falls on a weekend in August or November.

Kamitsu-jinja stands in Yodogawa Ward, about five minutes on foot from the east ticket gate of Juso Station on the Hankyu line. The grounds are compact, so a short visit fits easily into a walk through the district. On the 13th of each month the Juso-ichi market fills the approach with stalls, except when the 13th falls on a Saturday or Sunday in August and November.

The shrine's name dates only from 1911, when the Sarutahiko Shrine of Kojima was merged and the present title adopted. The main hall seen today was rebuilt in 1972. A ridge tag found during the 1929 reconstruction bears an Eihō 7 (1710) date and records that the shrine was originally invited during the Tenshō era (1573–1592).
