Zama Shrine
Ikasuri Shrine is located at No. 3 Watanabe, 4-chome, Kutaro-cho. This is the guardian deity of Senba, commonly known as ``Zama-san''. It is the Ichinomiya of Settsu Province and the former Kanpei Chusha Shrine, and its enshrined deity, Ikasuri no Okami, is said to have its origins in the time when it was enshrined in the Imperial Palace as a deity to protect the shrine grounds during the reign of Emperor Jimmu. The main divine virtues are the protection of housing, travel safety, and safe childbirth.As the god of travel safety, there is a waka poem that was prayed to our company at the time of departure (Manyoshu 4350), and as the god of safe childbirth, Empress Jingu and Emperor Ojin. It is highly revered because it was prayed to for the safe delivery of the Emperor Meiji, and more recently when Emperor Meiji was born. The shrine dates back to ancient times, when Empress Jingu, upon her return from Silla, enshrined Zama Okami on the southern bank of the Yodo River, on the banks of Oe, Tanyojima, and later Watanabe's land (currently west of Tenmabashi Bridge, near Ishimachi). . It is also described as the only major shrine in Nishinari District, Settsu Province in the Engishiki of the Heian period. When Osaka Castle was built in 1582, it was ordered to move to a different location, and was moved to its current location in the Kanei era. The current name of the enshrined place is called Watanabe because the original place name was transferred, and it is famous as the birthplace of the Watanabe surname. In 1945, the shrine building was destroyed by fire during the war. The current shrine building is made of reinforced concrete and has been restored to its prewar appearance.
