Located in the heart of Kashibaricho, a small district in Kishiwada City, Osaka Prefecture, San no Maru Shrine is an ancient Shinto shrine dedicated to the god of the sun and fire. The shrine's name, 'San no Maru,' refers to its original location on a hill with three concentric circles. Over time, the shrine has been rebuilt twice due to fires, but it continues to be an important cultural and historical landmark in the region.
