Miyakojima Shrine, Shinto shrine in Miyakojima, Osaka, Japan

Miyakojima Shrine is a Shinto shrine on the left bank of the Ōkawa in Miyakojima, Osaka. Its single-story wooden worship hall has a pale green tiled gable roof, a facade divided by dark posts into bays, and white zigzag paper streamers hanging from a beam. A raised stone platform with short steps leads to dark wooden doors and lattice panels, flanked by two stone lanterns bearing tall wooden signs inscribed 御神燈. In the grounds stands a three-story stone hōkyōintō pagoda dated 1304.

The shrine was founded in 1160 by eight villages to control and protect against Yodo River flooding. The main hall was destroyed in 1945 air raids but was immediately rebuilt after the war, retaining its cultural importance as one of Osaka's oldest surviving sites.

This shrine serves as a gathering place where locals offer prayers and gratitude to the deities. People come here to seek blessings for health and well-being, and the community reinforces its bonds during the July and October festivals when large portable shrines are carried through the streets.

The shrine is located about 5 minutes walk from Miyakojima subway station, making it easily accessible on foot. The site offers a quiet place for prayer, with water basins for cleansing before visits and an office where shrine stamps can be collected as souvenirs.

The stone three-tiered hōkyōintō pagoda in the grounds bears an inscription from 1304 (Kagen 2), making it the oldest stone relic in Osaka city and a prefectural tangible cultural property. It is a small stupa-like tower rather than a tall pagoda, so visitors often walk past it without noticing.
