- Osaka Osakashi Chuou-ku Osakajou 2-1
- This Shinto shrine is located right next to Sakura-mon Gate on the grounds of Osaka Castle. Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Hideyori and Hidenaga are all enshrined here. This shrine is well known for life advancement because of Toyotomi Hideyoshi rising from commoner to ruler. Worshippers pray at the shrine but they also hold wedding ceremonies. Visitors can also purchase omamori protection charms with the Toyotomi family crest or motifs of gourds, and ema wishing tags with a picture of Toyotomi Hideyoshi sittings barefoot.

This is one among many Shinto shrines in Osaka. Although inside the popular Osaka Castle Park, Hokoku Shrine remains peaceful and secluded. Most of the visitors are local worshipers.
