History
Gojounomiya is enshrined in Shinhouincho, Tennoji Ward, Osaka. This area is a land where the culture of syncretism of Shinto and Buddhism has been rooted since ancient times, and it has been cherished as the guardian deity of the community. From the name 'Gojou,' it can be understood that there was a faith that valued five important elements or teachings. Though located amid the hustle and bustle of an urban area, the quiet grounds allow for peaceful worship. Supported by the deep faith of local people, this sacred place has been carefully preserved and passed down to the present day.
