Hirota Shrine
〒556-0004 大阪府大阪市浪速区日本橋西2丁目4−14
Located in Naniwa Ward, Osaka City, this shrine enshrines Tsuruchigaki-Utsuhiko-no-Mitama-Amashu-Mukatsu-Hime-no-Mikoto, the aramitama (rough spirit) of Amaterasu Omikami. Its divine messenger is the stingray (aka-ei), and it is also known as a place to pray for relief from hemorrhoids.
History
The exact date of its founding is unknown, but legend holds that Queen Jingu received a divine oracle to enshrine the aramitama of Amaterasu Omikami when her ship became stuck while returning from the conquest of the Three Kingdoms of Korea, leading her to establish the shrine. It was classified as a village shrine (musha) in 1872 and designated as a shrine eligible for the offering of sacred food and cloth (shinsen-heihaku-ryo) in 1906.
