  Hirota Shrine

An old shrine said to be originally of a guardian god of fishermen. It has many worshippers in southern Osaka. It stands next door on the north to Ebisu Shrine, but it is not known when it was built. A stingray is worshipped here as a divine messenger.

Lately there is a festival on 2 and 3 August in the compound of Ebisu Shrine next door. It is called " Kid's Ebisu ".

The god of shrine is a god of wisdom and power. And visitors offer two sorts of picture tables. One is a tablet of a stingray said to keep you from illness and plague. The other one is a tablet of the shrine god on a stingray said to give you a lot of wisdom.
