Mitaya Jinja Shrine

Mitaya Shrine, quietly situated in southern Sakai, is an ancient Engishiki shrine long revered as a deity of love and marriage. The forest of Shiribukagashi (a type of evergreen oak) within the precinct has been selected as one of the Osaka Midori no Hyakusen (Osaka's 100 Best Green Spaces), a verdant treasure in the urban landscape. Many visitors come repeatedly to entrust their deepest wishes for love and connection. Prayers for marital harmony and romantic fulfillment are carried through this lush precinct, and the shrine continues to protect those who love, across the ages.
