Zen Meditation Sanctuary: Ōkuninushi Shrine

#OsakaAttractions

The torii gate⛩️ and blue stone approach of "Ōkuninushi Shrine" outline a solemn atmosphere. Visitors stream continuously up the stone steps. As the wind passes through the treetops, the copper bells hanging from the eaves gently chime, resonating with the faint sound of the tide in the distance, as if whispering ancient mythological tales📜.

Behind the main hall, the "Garden of Ties" is bordered by natural boulders, with a clear spring winding through. Small white coins offered by worshippers float on the water’s surface, like fallen stars💫.

Under the eaves of the wooden worship hall hang rows of ema prayer plaques🎋, filled with people’s hopes for love and family. Occasionally, foreign travelers leave wishes in various languages, adding an international touch to the sacred grounds🌍. The scent of incense wafts from the shrine office, mingling with the dampness of forest moss, creating a unique shrine aroma~
