Across Japan, you'll find countless shrines with histories stretching back centuries, and Osaka is no exception. Shrines are rooted in Shinto, a unique Japanese belief system where deities are often revered as unseen entities, unlike the large, visible Buddha statues of Buddhism.

Amidst the lively Namba district of Osaka stands a shrine with a monument that truly stands out: Namba Yasaka Shrine.

Its massive, imposing face resembling a demon or a colossal lion head has become a major draw for international tourists, captivated by its sheer size and unusual appearance.

However, while this striking visage fascinates overseas visitors, some Japanese individuals harbor feelings of unease or even aversion towards such a monument at a shrine. This stems from the belief that shrines are sacred grounds, and erecting something so unconventional might incur divine displeasure.

The Japagrit tour experience of Namba Yasaka Shrine goes beyond simply guiding you through a tourist spot. We delve into the cultural gap, explaining why this monument, so appealing to foreign eyes, can be met with skepticism by some Japanese, exploring the underlying Japanese faith and cultural nuances.
