    Osaka Osaka-shi Chuo-ku Kozu 1-1-ban 29-go

    谷町九丁目からほど近いところにある歴史ある神社です。神社としても立派な神社ですが、古典落語の高津の富などの舞台として知られており、現在でも公演が行われる高津の富亭が境内にありますし、数々の碑が文化の地としての名残を感じさせました。

    Osaka Osaka-shi Chuo-ku Honmachi 4-chome 1-3

    本町近くの御堂筋の西側に面して建っている浄土真宗本願寺派のお寺です。こちらの建物と真宗大谷派難波別院である南御堂を結ぶ参道を御堂筋と呼んだそうで、名前の由来にもなっています。さすがにスケールが大きく、すべてが堂々とした感じでした。

    Osaka Osakashi Chuou-ku Kouraibashi 2-6-2

    北浜でも淀屋橋でも同じくらいの距離の中間地点にあります。昭和初期に建てられたゴシック様式の尖塔窓を持つ教会です。自主的に設立された日本初の自給教会だそう。日曜日でミアをやっている雰囲気だったので外観だけの見学でしたが、タイミングがあえば中も見たいですね。

    Osaka Met. Osakashi Chuou-ku Shimanouchi 2-chome 10-14

    たまたま目の前を通り掛かって参拝しました。朱塗りの山門が特徴的な高野山真言宗寺院となっており、その山門には「摂津國八十八ヶ所 第壱番霊場」と掲げられていました。猶、繁華街に近い所為もあってか常に参拝者が見られました。

    式内社、旧府社で、ご祭神は、用明天皇、穴穂部間人皇后、聖徳太子とのことです。元四天王寺として知られています。式内社とのことですが延喜式神名帳には載っていません、不思議なことに。森ノ宮駅の駅前にあります。現在の境内はコンパクトなサイズです。

While Osaka prefecture is the country's second smallest prefecture, its capital, Osaka City, is the country’s third-largest and arguably one of the most popular in the Kansai region thanks to its vibrant nightlife, the Osaka people’s openness, and its much-loved cuisine, which has earned it the nickname "the nation’s kitchen."
