#Osaka Attractions

Location: Sumiyoshi, Sumiyoshi-ku, Osaka City

Sumiyoshi Taisha is one of the oldest and most famous shrines in Osaka, and the head shrine of about 2,300 Sumiyoshi shrines throughout Japan. With its unique architectural style and strong historical atmosphere, it attracts a large number of believers and tourists every year to worship and visit.

🌟 Real experience sharing
As soon as you enter the shrine, the first thing you see is the famous "Anti-Bashi" (Taiko Bridge). This arched wooden bridge is not only the symbol of Sumiyoshi Taisha Shrine, but also a popular spot for taking photos. The shrine is built in the Sumiyoshi-zukuri style, which is simple yet full of Japanese beauty. It is even more tranquil when the sun shines. The three Sumiyoshi gods enshrined inside are the guardian gods who protect maritime navigation, so this is also a holy place for prayers for shipping and travelers.

🚶♂️ Transportation and Tips
It is about a 3-minute walk from Nankai Electric Railway's Sumiyoshi Taisha Station. There is no entrance fee to enter the shrine, but it is recommended to visit in the early morning or evening to avoid the peak crowds, and wear comfortable shoes to facilitate walking and exploring the surrounding area.
