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.
Namba Yasaka Jinja is a truly unique and peaceful shrine in the heart of Osaka.
The highlight is the striking Lion Hall with its massive open mouth—an impressive sight said to swallow evil spirits and bring good luck.
Many come here to pray for academic success, job opportunities, and exam results.
Despite being popular, the shrine isn’t overly crowded, making it a calm and reflective spot even with a few tourists around.
A hidden gem worth visiting if you're in the area.
