Kouzen Shrine

大阪市平野区平野宮町2丁目1−67

4.3(978)

A shrine revered as the chief guardian deity of Hirano-gō, a historic city that has existed since the Asuka period, and affectionately known as 'O-miya-san' (the shrine). The shrine grounds contain the only surviving renga-sho (linked verse composition hall) in Japan.

History

It is said that the shrine was founded in 862 CE (Sagan 4) when Saka-no-Katamichi enshrined Gozu Tenno (Susanoo-no-Mikoto) and established Gion Shrine. In 1190 CE (Kenkyu 1), Kumano Shomei Gongen was enshrined. In 1321 CE (Genko 1), by imperial decree of Emperor Go-Daigo, it was designated as the head shrine of Kumano Gongen. In 1513 CE (Eicho 10), the current Second and Third Main Halls were constructed. These structures are designated as Important Cultural Properties as the oldest extant wooden buildings in Osaka city.

What visitors say

The well-maintained and beautiful shrine grounds feature a approach lined with majestic pines, stone lanterns, and komainu (lion-dog statues). The vermilion main halls stand in a row, and during the Shichi-Go-San (seven-five-three) season, displays of banners and characters are sometimes held. Goshuin (shrine seal stamps) are available as pre-written copies, and the surrounding area offers an environment rich in historical atmosphere.
