Tsuyunoten Shrine (Ohatsu Tenjin)

A shrine dedicated to love inspired by the tale of two lovers which has an interesting and tragic story told within the temple. A cool shrine found in the city center of Osaka which is a nice change of pace from all the tall buildings offering visitors a place to relax and rest the mind. Being a love themed shrine, you will be able to see love incorporated throughout the shrine grounds and merchandise while being able to pray for a good love life. Goshuins are available at this shrine which has the love motif incorporated in the stamp. Overall highly recommend for as a pitstop in your journey exploring Osaka!

This temple is lovely in spring and bustling with young women praying for romance, and young couples praying for lasting love. There are lots of photo spots around as well, and beautiful sakura trees. This temple has the most Goshuin options I have seen at any temple I've visited - lots are very flashy and beautiful. There is of course also a handwritten stamp.

Located a short walk from Umeda Station, amongst high rises and just adjacent to a large, busy shopping street, Tsuyuno Tenjinsya Shinto Shrine is an amazing historical religious site. Although not the smallest or most obscure shrine, it's footprint can be missed because it's tucked away a bit down an alley off the main street. The Shrine is dedicated to love because of the ill-fated couple, Ohatsu and Tokubei. Hence the many fortunes and sub-shrines dealing with keeping or finding love. We especially liked the Lover's Sanctuary fortune - you select a small crystal heart from the office and get the corresponding paper fortune to take to a little water fountain where the water makes the fortune appear. It's in Japanese only, so for non-Japanese languages you'll need to translate it. Lots of really amazing, unique Goshuin. We bought their goshuincho so that the limited edition September goshuin was written inside of it. All their other goshuin are paper you'll need to paste in. Definitely a must visit if you love Shinto shrines and want to pray for relationship happiness. And if you like collecting unique goshuin, this is a gem! Oh, last thing - the office opens at 9 am but a sign said they start doing the goshuin at 10 am. We went on a weekday and it was busy but not busting. They have benches to sit (rare for the small shrines) and some vending machines.
