A colpo d'occhio

Ōkuninushi Shrine, or Shikitsumatsunomiya Ōkuninushi Jinja, is a Shinto shrine in Naniwa-ku, Osaka, Japan. This small but significant neighborhood shrine is linked to local commerce, luck in money, and matchmaking. It is closely associated with the nearby Daikokuchō area, named after its deity.

Santuario Shinto Pilgrimage

Perché dovresti andare

This shrine is so famous that it named both a train station and neighborhood! The subsidiary Daikoku shrine became more popular than the main shrine, leading to the area being called "Daikoku-cho" (Big Fortune Town).

Though founded around 1,600 years ago by Empress Jingū, the now-famous Daikoku shrine wasn't added until 1744—a gap of over 1,600 years! Commerce-focused Osaka locals preferred the wealth god over the original storm deity.

The shrine features unique "komainu" guardian statues replaced by mice riding on rice bales, honoring the legend that mice once saved Daikoku (god of wealth) from danger, making them his sacred messengers.

The "takezeni" (seed money) charm is believed to multiply wealth when kept in your wallet, inspired by Daikoku's magical mallet that produces treasure. Visitors report lottery wins and unexpected income after purchasing it!

Informati prima di partire

Consider purchasing the Tanezeni (seed money) amulet to keep in your wallet, as this charm based on the lucky mallet legend is particularly popular among locals who report financial windfalls and lottery wins after carrying it.
Discover the unique komainu statues at Daikoku Shrine, featuring mice holding lucky mallets. Mice are seen as messengers of Daikoku-sama, who saved the deity, making these statues a rare photo opportunity.
When paying respects at the large Daikoku statue sitting on rice bales, follow the posted signs and avoid pressing your forehead directly against the statue, as this specific instruction indicates a common mistake visitors make.
Enter from the south side to visit Shikitsumatsu-no-miya Shrine, dedicated to Susanoo, or from the main street to reach Daikoku Shrine directly. Both shrines share the same grounds, though Daikoku Shrine is more well-known.
Explore the broader Nanba area's Shichifukujin (Seven Lucky Gods) pilgrimage by walking from Daikoku Bridge (which aligns directly with the shrine's approach) to nearby Imamiya Ebisu Shrine via Ebisu Bridge, as this concentration of fortune deity...
Exit from Daikokucho Station Exit 2 on the Midosuji Line to find the shrine immediately at street level, making it one of the most accessible shrines in Osaka with flat, sandy ground suitable for wheelchair users and those with mobility concerns.
