Jp En


The Hyotanyama Inari Shrine enshrines the 3 Japanese gods of harvest. The shrine is also known as the Tsujiura headquarters.

Hyotanyama Inari Shrine is located in Hyotanyama, Higashi-Osaka district of Osaka. The Shinto shrine is built on the west slope of the Hyotanyama tomb. It is believed that the tomb was built in the beginning of the sixth century. The name Hyotanyama originates from the fact that the shape of the small hill looked like a bottle gourd. According to the shrine records, in 1584, Toyotomi Hideyoshi transferred Fukube Inari (the harvest god) from Fushimi Momoyama Castle and enshrined it on this ground because he was constructing Osaka Castle.

Hyotanyama Inari Shrine is also famously known as the headquarters of Tsujiura because it foretells the god's will. It is said that the foretelling is still done in the vicinity of the shrine gate. The grand festival is held in summer, and it is crowded with visitors wearing yukata summer clothes.
