Hiraoka Shrine, Shinto shrine at Mount Ikoma foothills, Higashiōsaka, Japan

The shrine complex features a main hall constructed in Kasuga architectural style, surrounded by numerous ancient trees and 400 plum trees.

This shrine, mentioned in the Engishiki records, served as the principal religious center of Kawachi Province before parts were transferred to Kasuga Taisha.

The shrine honors Amenokoyane, the ancestral deity of the Fujiwara clan, along with Hime-no-Kami, Takemikazuchi, and Futsunushi deities.

Located near Hiraoka Station on the Kintetsu Nara Line, the shrine provides free entry and includes parking facilities for visitors.

During the December 23rd Owarai Shinji ritual, participants engage in ceremonial laughter while replacing the traditional Shinto rope decorations.
