Review

Small Shinto shrine

Reviewed : 2023.04.23

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.
Historical Shrine

Hokoku Shrine was near to Osaka Castle and had statues in the honor of a Saurai warrior. A serene place for worship and worth for visit while travel in this area.
More a great Hall

Reviewed : 2019.11.20

My opinion is that it is more of a great hall than a shrine. Not much to see. All built of massive pieces of timber. Built in 1587.100y to visit
