Mitsugu (Mitsuhachimangu) 御津宮 (御津八幡宮) (How to go, what to expect) – shrine for pets , near Dotonbori

I saw clips about a pet shrine in Osaka (near Shinsaibashi), and I WAS LIKE, I HAVE TO GO HERE!

The shrine is a bit far from Namba subway, but if you’ll be shopping around the Dotonbori area, visiting American Village, or, even better, doing the go-kart experience with Street Kart, it’s nearby!

I followed Google Maps and realized that Mitsugu (Mitsuhachimangu) 御津宮 (御津八幡宮) was near where we went on our first day. Hahaha, oh silly me!
you’ll see lanterns! that’s your cue
we went in through the side entrance
main entrance

The shrine was just small!

so cute

you can buy a blank pet shape ema that you can draw and hang

i’ll do this next time 🥹

got pet omamori for my friends! cash basis only

I prayed for my pets at the shrine and took some pics before leaving.

all photos were taken using an iPhone 17 Pro Max / Fujifilm X-T20 18-55 mm

Come and add this to your itinerary if you’re going to Osaka! I know I’ll be coming back here next time!!
