Namba Yasaka Shrine, Osaka 🦁✨
One of the spiritual shrines in the Namba area of Osaka, this shrine is uniquely known for its giant lion head, measuring 17 meters high, 11 meters wide, and 7 meters deep. It has become popular among tourists and is a favorite photo spot for visitors to this shrine.

This giant lion head is called Koma-Inu, or lion-dog, a mythical guardian creature in Japanese legend. Koma-Inu is a sacred animal that protects the shrine from evil and misfortune. Both Japanese people and tourists believe that the lion’s mouth can absorb bad luck or evil spirits and bring good fortune to everyone.
