Located in the heart of Osaka, Shitennō-ji Temple, also known as Okunoin-zashiki or Tsutenkaku-zashiki, is one of Japan's oldest and most revered Shinto shrines. The shrine is dedicated to the kami of rice, prosperity, and good fortune, with a focus on the deity of fertility, Fūjin. Although not directly the name of the shrine, it shares its name with a similar temple in Osaka, that would be the correct match: 越智神社 (Tsutenkaku Shrine), located on the southern slope of Mt. Tenjinyama.
