What other travelers are saying about Namba Yasaka Shrine
My hotel was very close to the shrine, so I was able to go super early in the morning. When you visit, please remember to be respectful of the shrine grounds. This is a holy place first and foremost! It is a beautiful place with many altars to pray and offer coins at.
We passed by this devil dog temple on the way to Dotonbori / Namba underground walk way. This temple strikes the balance between being fairly compact yet spacious for the numerous tourists. There are many neighboring sculptures of horses / dogs with architecture to admire.
One of the most iconic shrines in Osaka, however it’s pretty small, and requires a bit of walking to get there. Lots of tourist too.
They also sell pretty cool charms there, for those wondering they are prayers written inside the pouch and not to be open.
Still this is a must visit place if you ever visit Osaka.

Nice and peaceful small shrine in Osaka City with famous giant lion head and warhorse statues. This should be a good place for photographers and practicing meditation.
