The first time you walk in, you'll really be shocked! Because the huge lion head shrine in front of you is so imposing! 🦁👀
The lion's mouth, which is 12 meters tall, is said to be able to bite away bad luck and bring good fortune. Visiting here really feels like a ritual✨
Although it is located in the bustling city center of Osaka, the shrine is small and not too crowded, making it a great spot to stop by. The overall atmosphere is quiet and refreshing, a surprising little urban secret🌿
📸 Many people come specifically to take photos. Whether standing in front of the lion's mouth or shooting from the side, it’s incredibly dynamic and photogenic from any angle!
🛍️ Nearby are Namba, Shinsaibashi, and Dotonbori. While shopping around, stopping by here to pray and take some photos makes for a relaxing and unique little trip~
