What other travelers are saying about Sumiyoshi Taisha
One of my favorite shrines in Osaka. It was an easy commute from namba, and they had a tram that takes you all the way down to Sakai. I love this area because it was peaceful, there was very little tourists, there was a beautiful garden nearby, and the bridge is soooo wonderful! I really liked how we also saw a marriageceremony there as well? Im not sure but it was anice way to see the culture.
It was a serene experience.
What a magical shrine which also felt like a time portal into the past. Super close to the subway station. It was fairly quiet when we went with just a minimal amount of visitors. Cool to see some family portraits being taken here. Really serene, peaceful and such slow paced delight. Anyone in need of a system reset? Meow?
This is a very nice temple to visit while in Osaka. The grounds are beautiful and the temple is extremely historical. You can also get goshuin stamps here if you wish for 500 yen. There is no entrance fee to this temple. I would highly recommend you visit this temple.
A beautiful and peaceful temple. The surroundings are clean and well-maintained, with a lovely little park and pond. The fish and turtles were a pleasant surprise – they add a special charm to the place. A perfect spot to relax, take a walk, and enjoy the calm atmosphere.
Such a beautiful and serene place. They have many small areas that are well kept and beautiful facilities. The worshipers are very understanding of tourists. Spent hours there and would again. The bridge though is very steep.
