Namba-yasaka-jinja, Shinto shrine in Namba district, Osaka, Japan.
The shrine features a monumental lion-shaped stage measuring 12 meters in height, with an open mouth containing a performance platform.
The shrine traces its origins to Emperor Nintoku's reign between 313-399, when it was established during an epidemic after a deity appeared.
The Tsunahiki Shingi festival includes a tug-of-war competition using a serpent-shaped rope to commemorate the deity Susanoo's victory over Yamata-no-orochi.
Located eight minutes from Nankai Station, the shrine welcomes visitors daily from 6:00 AM to 5:00 PM without admission fees.
The lion structure, built in 1975, incorporates reinforced concrete and wood materials, with eyes that illuminate during evening festivities.
