Namba Yasaka Shrine

Who Says You Canโ€™t Worship? ๐ŸŒŸ ๐ŸŒ‡โœจ I quickly checked off the giant lion head, took two photos, and then rushed off. Remembering the reason I saw on Xiaohongshu (Little Red Book) for only taking photos and not worshipping, I ended up missing out on its January-limited offerings. After coming back, I looked up more information and found out that worshipping and praying for blessings are actually allowed. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป ๐ŸŒ‡โœจ Hereโ€™s some information about Namba Yasaka Shrine: Historical Origins: Located in Osaka, Japan, Namba Yasaka Shrineโ€™s earliest records date back to the reign of Emperor Nintoku, around 1069, nearly a thousand years ago. Some even say its history goes back to the 3rd century. ๐ŸŒ‡โœจ Legend has it that in the 5th century, when an infectious disease broke out in Osaka, people began to worship Gion Gozu Tenno. Since then, this place has become the guardian shrine of the Namba area and is called โ€œNamba Shimo-no-Miyaโ€ by the locals. After the Meiji Restoration, it was once abandoned due to the policy of separation of Shinto and Buddhism, but in 1974, the main hall and other buildings were reconstructed. ๐ŸŒ‡โœจ #Osaka ๐ŸŒ‡โœจ
