Susanoo-no-Mikoto
History
The shrine's origins date back to when Toyotomi Hideyoshi constructed Osaka Castle. During the development of the winding road known as 'Sekime no Nanakorobi' (Seven Bends of Sekime) along the Kyoto route, Susanoo-no-Mikoto was enshrined. Simultaneously, Bishamonten was also enshrined to serve as a protective barrier for the castle's kimon.
