The open mouth of the lion is believed to swallow evil spirits and bring good luck, success, and protection to worshippers.
The shrine has a long history and serves as a guardian deity of the local community. Every January, the shrine hosts the Tōka Ebisu festival, attracting many visitors who come to pray for prosperity in business and good fortune in the new year. Today, Namba Yasaka Shrine is not only a spiritual site but also a popular tourist spot in Osaka due to its striking architecture and cultural significance.
Umeda Sky Building
The Umeda Sky Building is one of Osaka’s most iconic landmarks, located in the Umeda district. Completed in 1993, this 173-meter-tall skyscraper consists of two towers connected at the top by the “Floating Garden Observatory.” The observatory offers a 360-degree panoramic view of Osaka, making it a popular destination for both tourists and locals.
The building is also known for its unique architecture, designed by Hiroshi Hara, which resembles a futuristic “Arc de Triomphe.” Inside, visitors can find restaurants, offices, and an underground market styled after the early Showa era. At night, the observatory becomes a romantic spot to enjoy the city lights.

“A great introduction to amazing Osaka”
Akira met us at the cruise ship port and took us to the beautifully restored Osaka Castle. That was followed with a visit to the Hokoku Shinto Shrine. We had a delicious traditional lunch of Osaka Okonomiyaki at a restaurant in the colouful Shinsekai district. Next we visited Shinennoji, the oldest Buddhist Temple in Japan, where Akira explained the differences in beliefs between Shinto and Buddhist religions, before we returned to the ship. Akira’s knowledge of Japanese history and religion, Ninjas and Samurais was amazing. We learned so much and had a perfect day.

“Great Communicator and Guide”
We are very detail-oriented travelers with packed, carefully planned itineraries. Clear and thorough communication with our guide is essential to us, and Akira exceeded every expectation. His responses before our trip were prompt, detailed, and incredibly reassuring, giving us complete peace of mind prior to arrival. Meeting him was effortless, and his English is excellent. He is both a skilled driver and a knowledgeable guide. Akira thoughtfully suggested adjusting the order of our stops based on traffic patterns and his deep understanding of the city, which allowed us to maximize our time. His expertise made such a difference that we gladly hired him again. Highly recommended.

“Spectacular Tour Guide”
We are very demanding customers. We plan schedules that are very complex. We want to see everything and we don't stop for food. For that reason, it is extremely important that we can communicate thoroughly with the guide to made sure that they are on the same page with us. We could not be happier with Akira. His responses are super fast and thorough. It gave us total peace of mind before arriving. Meeting Akira was a breeze. He speaks great English and is great guide and driver. He helped us with everything we needed suggested a different sequence of stops based on his knowledge of traffic and the city so we made the most out of our time. So much so that we hired him again. On this trip we went to Nara, Byodo-In, Fushimi Inari and more.
