What other travelers are saying about Namba Yasaka Shrine
A busy but well worth it place to visit in Osaka. It’s kind of car from a metro or train station, but the walk is enjoyable. Once again, there are a lot of people there, but it doesn’t ruin it. The head is much bigger than I expected!
A very nice temple with a unique huge lion head that is supposed to eat all your worryings away. Very tourist friendly with lots of interactive explanations everywhere. Worth a visit but in my opinion not the most beautiful temple in Osaka. Very unique though.
The lion's head is very iconic. It is believed to eat your bad luck.
The shrine is not that big. If you are around the area, it is not a waste of time to pay a visit.
Very accessible by walking.
Neat little shrine tucked away from the main roads that's also one of the most unique in Osaka and perhaps Japan. Although it's slightly crowded, it's nonetheless quite a tranquil and relaxing experience. However, if you're looking for pictures without anyone in sight, the best bet would probably be to come early in the morning.
This shinto shrine stands out with its distinctive and impressive lion head shape. The massive lion head is believed to ward off all evil spirits and bad luck and bring good luck for its worshippers, It is located a short walk from Namba station, making it easily accessible.
