History
Tamatsukuri Inari Jinja is a shrine located south of Osaka Castle with connections to Toyotomi Hideyori. It flourished under the devoted faith of the Toyotomi family and is particularly beloved by many as a deity of matchmaking. In the shrine grounds dwells an endearing fox spirit known as the "Love Fox," and the shrine bustles with visitors seeking fulfillment of romantic love. True to the name Tamatsukuri, which comes from ancient jewel makers who once lived in the area, this shrine stands on historic ground, harmoniously blending history with romantic fortune.
