Namba Yasaka Shrine is a Shinto shrine located in the Namba district of Osaka, Japan. The shrine is known for its giant lion-shaped mask that is displayed during the annual festival known as the “Ebisu Festival.” The festival takes place every January, and it is one of Osaka’s most popular festivals. The mask is over 3 meters tall and weighs approximately 2.5 tons.

Welcome dear travel fans! I've been traveling around the world for 20 years and most of my trips were to Asia. I think I have been crazy about Japan since I was a child and will be happy to share this passion with you.

The shrine itself has a long history, dating back to the 4th century. It was originally located in what is now the city of Sakai, but was moved to its current location in Namba in the 14th century. The shrine is dedicated to three deities: Susano-o no Mikoto, Inari Okami, and Kotoshironushi no Kami. Visitors can make offerings and pray for good luck, health, and prosperity.
In addition to the Ebisu Festival, the shrine also hosts a number of other events throughout the year, including a spring festival in April and a summer festival in July. The shrine is located just a short walk from Namba Station, making it easily accessible for visitors to Osaka.
