Sumiyoshi Taisha, also known as Sumiyoshi Grand Shrine, is one of the most famous shrines in Osaka and one of the oldest in Japan. During hatsumode, the first shrine visit of the new year, over two million people visit this unique shrine. The shrine grounds are a picture of tranquility with vermillion shrine buildings, natural beauty, and glimmering water.
History
Sumiyoshi Taisha is cited in two of Japan’s oldest books, the Kojiki and the Nihon Shoki, as well as one of the world’s oldest stories, Tale of Genji. Legend has it that Sumiyoshi Taisha was founded in 211 CE by Empress Jingu who dedicated it to the Sumiyoshi Sanjin, which is a collective name for the three Shinto gods of the sea and later, waka poetry. Although landlocked now, the shrine used to overlook the ocean. Later, Empress Jingu was also enshrined on the grounds. This act linked the shrine to her son, Emperor Ojin, who was deified as Hachiman, god of war. With the enshrinement of various kami (gods), the shrine is a popular place to pray for a variety of reasons, including safe seas, travel, poetry, fighting (such as martial arts), military, and general health and prosperity.
Sumiyoshi Taisha is the head shrine of over two thousand Sumiyoshi shrines across Japan.
One-of-a-kind architecture
Interestingly, Sumiyoshi Taisha was founded before the introduction of Buddhism in Japan, giving it a unique architectural style called Sumiyoshi-zukuri, which is free of influence from the Asian mainland. This purely Japanese style is registered as a national treasure and characterized by straight roofs, rather than curved ones, decorated with forked finials that resemble crossed poles, and five horizontal billets. The shrine’s four main halls are painted vermillion and surrounded by fences.

Sumiyoshi Taisha is home to dozens of shrine buildings, which are complemented by torii gates, rich nature, and stone lanterns. Stroll through the sacred grounds and allow the peaceful energy to rejuvenate your mind and body.

When you first enter the shrine grounds, you are greeted by the stunning Sorihashi Bridge, which is similarly painted vibrant red. One of the most scenic views at the shrine is the bridge’s side profile along the water. The small canal acts as a perfect mirror, reflecting the bridge’s high arch and creating the illusion of a continuous loop. In the spring and summer time, the lush greenery of the area coupled with the blue skies are a wonderful contrast against the bridge’s saturated coloring. After crossing the bridge, take a few moments to observe the visually intriguing entrance and its many different perspectives.
The four main halls at Sumiyoshi Taisha are dedicated to the three gods of the sea and Empress Jingu. After entering the shrine grounds from Sorihashi Bridge, you will first see two main halls located beside each other. The remaining two halls are positioned in a straight line behind the more centralized one. These buildings exemplify the Sumiyoshi-zukuri style and are painted in shades of red, from vermillion to darker and more natural tones, which are contrasted against pure white walls. The rare and treasured architectural style is a mesmerizing visual and a must see if you are visiting Osaka.

The towering 8-sided structure’s facade is characterized by its exposed steel beams and Eiffel Tower-esque appearance.

Unfortunately, the tower was damaged in 1943 by a fire and later dismantled for its steel during WWII. Years later in 1956, after locals campaigned for a new tower, the current Tsutenkaku was constructed at a taller 103 meters tall and designed by famous architect Tachu Naito, who also designed Tokyo Tower.

General observatory tickets cost 900 JPY for adults (high school students and above) and 400 JPY for infants 5 years old and over and junior high and elementary school students.
