Namba Yasaka Shrine is a unique and lesser-known shrine located in the Namba district of Osaka. It is famous for its impressive and giant lion head-shaped stage, which serves as the main feature of the shrine. The structure is called the "Shishi-no-dou," and it stands about 10 meters tall, with a massive lion's face that symbolizes protection and good fortune. This unusual design makes it a popular spot for visitors looking to experience a less conventional shrine in Osaka.

The shrine itself is dedicated to the god of marriage, which makes it a popular destination for couples. It’s a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of the city, with its quiet atmosphere and beautiful grounds.
