This place is impressive, you really ask yourself how all of this was built, even though you read about it. But it is so impressive. It's a peaceful place, surrounded by an area so crowded. I visited this early morning, I don't know how this is in the afternoon or evening, but i guess it receives a lot of visitors.
A beautiful and small shrine located walking g distance from downtown Osaka. Not over popular among tourists. They do sell amulets and charms. Expect to spend about 15 -30 mins exploring. The place was clean and inviting. Though we can’t get inside the mouth of the lion, you can walk all the way up to it.
