[Osaka Prefecture/Otori Taisha] A shrine with an octagonal torii gate

Otori Taisha Shrine is the Ichinomiya (first shrine) of Izumi Province. When Emperor Yamato Takeru died of an illness, his spirit turned into a swan and flew away, and this is said to be the place where he stayed for the last time. Therefore, the enshrined deity is of course Emperor Yamato Takeru. It is the head shrine of all Otori shrines and Otori faiths across the country, and is said to bring good luck, good fortune, protection from evil, and road safety. At the shrine office, you can receive amulets that will help you see into the future, and draw fortune slips that will help you see into the future! The skeletons are lovely. Unfortunately, the fortune slip I got was for medium luck, but if you have good luck you can get a clear fortune slip. I'd like to try it again. ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ ꕥShrine name: Otori Taisha ꕥAddress: 1-1-2 Otori Kita-cho, Nishi-ku, Sakai-shi, Osaka ꕥAccess 🚉 About 6 minutes walk from Otori Station ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ #Shrine tour #Shrines and temples #Solo trip #Osaka trip #Osaka sightseeing
