Namba Yasaka Shrine – The Giant Lion of Osaka

If you come to Osaka and want to make a powerful wish and get a super cool photo like no other, you must stop here!
The highlight of Namba Yasaka Shrine that keeps visitors coming non-stop is…

🦁 The “giant lion head” over 12 meters tall, standing proudly in the middle of the shrine!
Legend says, “The lion swallows away bad things and brings in good fortune” – whether it’s work, finances, studies, or love, you can wish for it all in one go.

💫 The atmosphere inside is peaceful, even though it’s in the heart of the city. It’s easy to get to from Namba Station, just a few minutes’ walk.
📸 The most popular photo spot is right in front of the lion’s mouth. If you don’t take a photo here, it’s like you never came!

🧧 Perfect for those who want to make wishes, take photos, or experience the charm of a Japanese shrine without leaving the city.
✨ Plus, it’s a shrine that Japanese people believe “brings success in work wishes,” so students, businesspeople, and workers often come to pray here.
