Namba Shrine, Shinto shrine in Bakurō-machi, Osaka, Japan

Namba Shrine is a Shinto shrine located in the Bakurō-machi neighborhood, sitting within a busy urban area and maintaining a compact size. It features traditional shrine elements including a torii gate, prayer hall, and spaces dedicated to worship and religious offerings.

Founded in the reign of Emperor Hanzei (traditionally 415) in Kawachi Province, the shrine moved to Hirano after 943 and was relocated to its present site in 1597 by order of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who granted 2,000 koku in compensation. After the 1615 summer siege of Osaka the shogunate confiscated nine-tenths of its grounds. It was destroyed in the first Osaka air raid on 14 March 1945 and rebuilt in July 1974.

The shrine's crest is a bundled iris, and on 8 June it holds the Ayame Matsuri, offering irises grown on the grounds. Two miko perform the kagura dance Shōbu-gari, miming the cutting of irises. The grounds also hold the Hakurō Inari Shrine, long popular with merchants of the Senba district.

The shrine is accessible within a busy urban neighborhood and can be visited easily on foot, though space is limited. Visitors should expect that peak times and certain seasons may bring larger crowds.

The shrine's sacred camphor tree, about 400 years old, is registered as Osaka City's No. 1 preserved tree. The shrine's crest is a type of iris emblem, "daki-ayame", and every 8 June a rite offers irises grown on the grounds, with two miko performing the "Shōbu-gari" kagura.
