[2025 Osaka Attraction] Travel Guide for Himejima Shrine (Updated May)

Himeshima Shrine Popular as a shrine for restarting and starting anew. The ema at Himeshima Shrine are made from scallop shells. You write your wish on the ema, and in exchange for having it granted, you put the contents of your wish into a [Cutting Ball]. You throw it into the hole in the monument, and it's okay no matter how many times you fail. You keep trying until it goes through the hole. Then you tie up the ema. There are three types of goshuin, including seasonal ones. They're all cute and recommended, so be sure to check them out when you visit.

📍Himeshima Shrine, Osaka Prefecture Located near Umeda, Himeshima Shrine is very famous locally as a "restart shrine for women." The grounds are compact, but there is a lot to see. It took a bit of patience to visit, so I'll introduce it to you. _ _ _ _ _ ⚫︎Himeshima Shrine Himeshima Shrine enshrines Agaruhime, a female deity who decided and acted on "restarting," and is said to grant the power to revive and make a new start. For this reason, it is also called the "restart shrine." ⚫︎Access 6 minutes walk west from Hanshin Railway's Himejima Station Or 23 minutes walk west from JR's Tsukamoto Station Or 15 minutes walk east from Hanshin Namba Line's Fuku Station Characteristics of the shrine as a new start ⚫︎Curved torii gate The unusual shape of the torii gate, which points sharply upwards. It represents the desire to rise. ⚫︎Windmill It represents arriving blessed with good winds. ⚫︎Fan Place something you want to send a good wind to on the stand in front of the windmill, and spin the windmill with the fan next to it. ※Don't forget what you want to send a good wind to! ⚫︎Scallop votive tablet Since Akaruhime-no-mikoto was able to set good sails and escape to this place by boat, it is filled with the wish that those starting anew will proceed smoothly. ⚫︎ Foundation of the Beginning You will be given a red ball called "Cutting Ball" along with the ema, and you will be able to make your wish come true by thinking about what you want to cut off and "passing it through the hole at the top of the Monument of the Beginning". In fact, you can't hang the ema unless you pass through here, so you have to keep throwing it over and over until it passes through. Keep throwing patiently~🥠 _ _ _ _ _ It's a pretty interesting shrine, and after visiting, you will feel refreshed somehow. Please use this as a reference for your next trip🔖 #OsakaTrip #DomesticTrip #FreeHotelStay

Okonomiyaki Izakaya Yuzuki Located in front of Himejima Shrine. I visited here with my family for lunch on a Saturday in September after visiting Himejima Shrine. It's an okonomiyaki izakaya, but it's perfect for lunch with small children! The food is brought to you already prepared, so you can enjoy it without having to light the hot plate. When you bring small children, you worry about them getting burned on the hot plate, but at Yuzuki, parents can eat with peace of mind. The fact that there is also a raised platform is also a great point for families with children. All the dishes are delicious, but the single dishes of dashimaki tamago and fried sweet shrimp are especially delicious! Single dishes start at 290 yen Okonomiyaki and yakisoba start at 600 yen It's cheap and the portions are big, so you'll be full. How about some of Yuzuki's okonomiyaki as a meal after visiting Himejima Shrine? Please note that Himejima Shrine closes its office between 12:00 and 13:00!
