Imamiya Ebisu-jinja Shrine
The Imamiya Ebisu-jinja Shrine is a shrine in the Naniwa Ward of Osaka City that is associated with “Ebessan” (Ebisu), the god of commerce. Besides Amaterasu-omikami and Kotoshironushi-no-kami, three other Shinto deities are venerated at the Shrine. The worship of Ebisu is linked with that of Kotoshironushi-no-kami. According to tradition, when Prince Shotoku built the Shitenno-ji Temple, he also had the Imamiya Ebisu-jinja Shrine built to protect the Temple from evil spirits coming from the west. The Shrine is particularly famous for the Toka Ebisu Festival, which is held on January 9th to 11th each year, and which attracts around a million worshippers.

- Quiet, Ordinary Temple. Go on Ebisu Matsuri Night!
- This is a famous temple for the god, Ebisu. All businesses gather here on the night of Ebisu Matsuri from tattoo artists to hoteliers to pray for a bountiful year.Otherwise you come any other time...

- Ebisu Festival
- Perhaps this review is a bit skewed as I stumbled across the Ebisu Festival and this shrine and it was it going off. Crazy, exciting, fun and loud. Just like those down to earth Osakans, its all...
