History
Dwelling in Namba's bustling streets, this shrine has captivated many with the majestic dance of its lions. Since ancient times revered as a shrine to ward off plague, the people of this region have maintained steadfast faith. The power of the Yasaka Deity protects the city and purifies people's hearts. When I witness the lions' summer festival dance, I feel the vitality of life itself.
