塩屋若宮神社 is a Shinto shrine located in Osaka, dedicated to the god Ōin, patron deity of salt and fertility. The shrine's name reflects its historical connection to the production of salt at the nearby Salt Yard. Built during the Heian period (794-1185 CE), the shrine's architecture showcases traditional Japanese style, with a wooden torii gate and a tiled roof. In spring, the shrine hosts the annual Cherry Blossom Viewing Festival, where visitors can enjoy traditional Shinto rituals and delicious food stalls.

The shrine's annual Cherry Blossom Viewing Festival is a popular event, but it is not specifically tied to any notable mythology connection or festival tradition. However, the shrine does participate in Osaka's larger New Year (Oshogatsu) celebrations.
