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.

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.

“Excellent experience”
Our group of 4 scheduled 2 days with Akira, Osaka and Kyoto utilizing private transportation. We had a wonderful experience and Akira is very knowledgeable and has a way of weaving story telling into the history of his beloved Japan. I would highly recommend his services.

“Exploring Nara & Kyoto With Akira”
This was our first time booking a guide and Akira was exactly what you would want from your guide. He is very knowledgeable and thorough in his explanations of the various sites we visited. We stopped for lunch in Kyoto at a family friend’s ramen shop that no tourist has visited (or not many). We highly recommend!! Menkiya is the name! Akira was very helpful to explain the history of Nara, Kyoto along with the relationships with Shoguns, Emperors, and monks. I would highly recommend Akira as your guide in Kyoto/Nara.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review and kind recommendation! It was truly a pleasure spending the day with you and sharing the history and culture of Kyoto and Nara. I’m very happy that you enjoyed the experience, especially discovering the local ramen shop, Menkiya! It’s always my pleasure to introduce my guests to places that are a little off the beaten path and offer a more authentic taste of Japan. I hope the stories of the Shoguns, Emperors, and Buddhist monks made your journey even more memorable. Thank you again for choosing me as your guide. I sincerely hope to welcome you back to Japan someday!

“1 day family tour Kyoto ”
Our day with Akira was lovely! He's an absolutely fantastic guide. Enthusiastic, knowledgeable and great with kids - our boys (8&10) had the best time and learned so much. Akira made sure to take us to sites with less crowds and at the right times and also took us to a really good lunch spot. We all agreed it was our favorite day in Kyoto and the only regret is not making it two days. Highly recommended!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was truly a pleasure spending the day with you and your family in Kyoto. I’m especially happy to hear that the boys had such a great time and enjoyed learning about Japanese history and culture along the way. I always try to show my guests a different side of Kyoto, away from the biggest crowds, so they can enjoy the city at its best. I’m delighted that you all enjoyed the experience, and I’m honored that it became your favorite day in Kyoto! Hopefully, next time we’ll have two days together to discover even more hidden gems. Wishing you and your family many more wonderful adventures, and I hope to see you again in Japan!
