What other travelers are saying about Namba Yasaka Shrine
Visiting this Shrine during the New Year festivities was an unforgettable experience. The shrine's architecture was truly breathtaking, and the atmosphere was filled with a sense of reverence. The long queues of locals waiting to enter were a testament to the deep spiritual significance of this place. I was particularly impressed by the intricate design of the amulets and omamori, especially the adorable fan-shaped one . It was a truly magical experience
The shrine is cool having a unique feature of the demon with the temple beside of it makes it really authentic. Many tourists are coming over to take some photos and some japanese giving their prayers. its nice that it is just near the famous Dotonbori
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.
Seeing it in pictures did not do it justice. When I rounded the corner into the shrine and saw just how big it actually is, I was absolutely in awe. I’ve never really called something magnificent but this was magnificent. The structure, the concept, and just how well kept/preserved it is. I’m so glad we took time from our trip to check it out. Absolutely became one of my favorite places to visit.
It's a bit crowded for me due to its popularity. The jinja is not too big so you can explore everything within 30 minutes. Just like the other shrine, they sell amulet, you can draw fortune teller fan or paper. The head is so massive and interesting but it's the only exciting thing about this jinja
