This is an old shrine that is said to have been built when Emperor Hansei opened Shibagakinomiya in Matsubara City, Osaka Prefecture, to enshrine his father, Emperor Nintoku. After that, it was moved to Uehonmachi, Tennoji Ward, and after Toyotomi Hideyoshi built Osaka Castle, it was moved to its current location in the Tensho era (1583). It is said that it was called ``Kami-Namba Shrine'' from the place name, and then changed to its current name in 1875. During the Edo period, as Inari worship flourished, the subsidiary shrine within the precincts, Inari Shrine, commonly known as ``Bakuro-cho no Oinari-san'' became more famous than the main shrine. In 1811 (Bunka 8), Uemura Bunrakuken opened a puppet joruri hut on our premises, and at the beginning of the Meiji era, ``Hikorokuza'' was opened in the space where Bunrakuken moved to Shinkaichi in Kujo. The summer festival held on July 20th and 21st every year is called Himuro Matsuri, and visitors are given ice cubes, and it is said that if you eat this ice, you will not lose the summer.
