[2025 Osaka Attraction] Travel Guide for Namba Jinja Shrine (Updated Jun)

\\Tourist Spots// The deity enshrined at this shrine is Emperor Nintoku, making it a rare shrine. It is located along the Midosuji Line and has a lot of traffic, but once you step inside, you will find a very quiet space. The shrine is located at the top of a flight of stairs, so it may be a little difficult for those who are not good with stairs.

You can see it as long as you walk along Shinsaibashi, which is very convenient. I took a flight back to Hong Kong on the same day, so I walked and ate near the hotel. I chose Namba Shrine⛩️. It is close to the hotel. I saw many local people at 09:00 on weekdays🙏🏻#国外游 #大坂旅行

#大坂购物攻略 When I came to Namba, Osaka, I was amazed by this 3-story Marimekko counter! From the appearance to the service, it is full of details, completely refreshing the experience of Nordic design brands~🇫🇮 1. Marimekko Namba Flagship Store 📍Address: 4-4-2 Namba, Chuo-ku, Osaka City (next to Namba Shrine) 🕒Business hours: 11:00-20:00 ✨Highlights: ✅ Excellent sense of space: 3 floors of spacious display, clothing, home furnishings, and accessories are clearly divided, and it is very leisurely to shop without feeling oppressive~ ✅ The ceiling of Japanese service: The clerk always smiles, bows and greets you when you make eye contact, helps you carry your shopping bags out the door when you leave the store, and is so polite that you want to return the favor (laughs) ✅ Exclusive model limited to Japan: A "Japanese-style LOGO shopping bag" will be given for purchases over 27,500 yen, which combines Nordic geometry with Japanese simplicity. It is not available in Taiwan! 2. Must-see hidden details 💫 Even scraps of cloth have a sense of ritual: In Figures 7-8, I was surprised to see that the counter neatly stored the discarded cloth in wooden boxes, labeled with the names of the patterns. Compared with the random stacking in Finland, the Japanese's persistence in "beauty" is so touching~ 💫 Dopamine color matching obsession: The "Kissanminttu (catnip)" cloth painting in Figures 12-13 uses bright yellow, peach pink, and mint green to collide with summer vitality. Hanging it at home will instantly brighten up the space! 🛒 Shopping Tips: ▫️ Free tax refund: You can apply for tax exemption on the spot if you spend more than 5,000 yen. Remember to bring your passport~ ▫️ Limited gifts are available in limited quantities: Japan exclusive gifts are often out of stock, so it is recommended to go to the store early to ask the SA! ▫️ Next to it is the Namba Shrine: after buying a bag, you can go there to ask for an amulet, and you can rest in the shrine courtyard when you are tired of shopping~

#getgoing2025 Things to Do: Explore the peaceful grounds of Namba Jinja Shrine, a historical Shinto shrine tucked away in Osaka’s lively Namba district. Admire the traditional architecture, including the torii gate and stone lion statues. Take a moment to reflect and make an offering at the shrine, which is dedicated to the god of commerce and prosperity. Tips: • Visit in the early morning or evening to experience a quiet atmosphere, as the shrine can be busy during the day. • Don’t forget to try the ema (wooden prayer plaques) or purchase omamori (protective charms) for good luck. • The shrine is surrounded by local shops, so be sure to explore the nearby streets and enjoy local food afterward. Directions: Namba Jinja Shrine is easily accessible from Namba Station, which is a major transportation hub in Osaka. From the station, it’s just a short walk to the shrine’s entrance. Take a peaceful break from the vibrant city life in this historic and tranquil shrine! #myitinerary #citydaytours

#tripแจกโรงแรมฟรี On the second day, we stayed in Osaka. We went to Namba Shrine, which is a famous shrine in this city. Locals and tourists come here to pray for success in their studies or for success in their careers, as people tell each other. It is not far from our accommodation. We took the train to Namba Station and walked quite a distance. The shrine is located in an alley less than 20 meters from the main road. When you enter, there will be a small lion spraying water attached to the wall of the building. Next to it, you will see a giant lion head that people come to stand and pray for blessings. On the side, there is a shrine for people to pray and make merit. There is also an area for people to sit and rest with shady trees. We saw the symbol of Osaka on the sidewalk, so we took a photo as a souvenir.

#June Travel Support Event A shrine in the city center about 900 meters from Dotonbori... A very small shrine where you can stop by for a moment before returning after finishing your travel schedule... A pretty place across from the Amway building in Shinsaibashi

#thingstodo Nice and peaceful shrine near Hommachi Station. Visited during the evening rush hour and it was surprisingly empty. Had a good stroll about to learn more about Japanese culture and beliefs. One of the major attraction here is the 400 plus year-old camphor tree. It is the oldest tree in Osaka, surviving even the World War 2 bombings. There is a belief that if you touch it, you will receive 'power' to rejuvinate yourself.

Namba Yasaka Shrine Address: 2-9-19 Motomachi, Naniwa-ku, Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture Opening hours: until 17:00, the temple staff will clear the area, open all year round Access: About 5 minutes walk from Namba Station It takes about 5 minutes to walk from Nankai Namba Station. If you take the subway, it is recommended to walk from Daikokucho Station on the Midosuji Line and Yotsubashi Line, which takes about 6 to 7 minutes. Overall, it is quite convenient. The most representative Lion Hall is right in front of you. The huge lion head with wide-open eyes and golden teeth welcomes people who come to worship at the shrine. It is said that it symbolizes helping everyone suck all the suffering and bad luck into its mouth, and it also represents the meaning of bringing wealth, luck and victory. Therefore, many people come here to pray for prosperous business, passing exams, successful job hunting, etc.
