Abeoji-jinja, Shinto shrine in Japan

Abeoji-jinja is a Shinto shrine in Abeno-ku, Osaka, and the only one of the Kumano Ninety-Nine Oji shrines still standing on its original site within Osaka Prefecture. Its grounds hold a main hall and worship hall rebuilt in 1967, the 1908 former main hall (a registered tangible cultural property), a shrine to the three-legged crow Yatagarasu, and the Kuzunoha Inari Shrine. About 50 meters north stands the separate Abe Seimei Shrine.

According to the Engi of Abe Gongen, the shrine was founded after a three-legged crow, a messenger of the Kumano deities, appeared in Emperor Nintoku's dream and was found at this site. Another tradition credits the Abe clan with establishing it as their tutelary shrine. In 826 Kukai revived it, and it became the fourth of the Kumano Ninety-Nine Princes, later the second. It is the only one of these princes still standing on its original site in Osaka Prefecture.

The shrine's name comes from its former role as Abe-ōji, the fourth stop on the Kumano pilgrimage route recorded in the Go-Toba-in Kumano Gokōki. Within the grounds stands Katsuragi-no-Ha Inari Shrine, dedicated to the legendary fox mother of Abe no Seimei; its small main hall was originally the honden of Otokoyama Hachiman Shrine.

Access is typically possible when private ceremonies are not taking place, so it is worth checking current conditions before visiting. The location is easily reached by public transportation and offers enough space to explore.

Abeoji-jinja is the only one of the Kumano Ninety-Nine Princes still standing on its original site within Osaka Prefecture. Nearby, about 50 m north, stands its auxiliary Abe Seimei Shrine, where a well said to have supplied Seimei's first bath is marked, and where the shrine survived the 1945 Osaka air raids unscathed.
