Located in the heart of Osaka, Konose神出神社 is a Shinto shrine dedicated to the kami of the sea and storms, Konose no okami. With its rich history dating back to the Heian period (794-1185 CE), the shrine has played an important role in the city's development as a port town. The shrine's architecture reflects its coastal location, with a main hall designed to resemble a boat and a torii gate shaped like a fish hook.
