Totoroshihime no Mikoto Shrine (Wakamatsu Shrine)
大阪市住吉区沢ノ町１丁目１０−４
A shrine listed in the Engishiki (a 10th-century codex) located in Sumiyoshi Ward, Osaka City. Its former shrine rank was Village Shrine. The origin of the shrine's name is attributed to various factors, including the name of a bridge that once stood within the precincts, an epithet for Inada-hime, and the sound of a small stream flowing nearby.
History
The founding date is unknown. It is said to have originally served as a subsidiary shrine (Oku-no-in) of Sumiyoshi Taisha (Sumiyoshi Grand Shrine). In 1220 CE, during Emperor Go-Toba's pilgrimage to Kumano, the head priest of Sumiyoshi Taisha established a temporary shrine (gyo-miya) within the precincts, which was called "Wakamatsu Gosho" (Wakamatsu Imperial Villa). This led to the shrine becoming known as Wakamatsu Shrine.
