It is said that this was the headquarters of the Monobe clan during the Asuka period.
The main deity worshipped is the ancestor of Mononobe no Kami: Tennin Hoji-son.
He is the ancestor of the Japanese imperial family.

There is also a temple dedicated to the god of learning, Sugawara no Michizane.
His status is like that of Confucius in our country, and he is very worthy of worship.

The shrine's history only dates back to 1533.
After being destroyed by a flood, it was rebuilt at its current location in 1572.

There are several towering trees in the shrine.
One of them is designated as a natural monument of Osaka Prefecture.
It is a thousand-year-old tree with a majestic appearance.

The open space is like a park, very bright.
There are not many people during the day, it is very quiet and the atmosphere is very comfortable.
⋯⋯⋯⋯
Behind the shrine is Inari Shrine (the god of convenience and panacea)
You can ask for anything (food/clothing/housing/transportation/business prosperity, etc.)
This is the shrine that is most in line with Japanese life.

Pass through the Thousand Torii Gates and you will see the shrine.
The fox messenger in front of the shrine,
Biting the key to the granary of harvest and the scroll of wisdom,
There are coins for making wishes under your feet.
