This shrine is located in front of Osaka Castle's Sakura Gate and is dedicated to Lord Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Lord Toyotomi Hideyori, and Lord Toyotomi Hidenaga. The ruins of Osaka Castle are where the followers of Ishiyama Honganji Temple fought against Oda Nobunaga's onslaught for 11 years during the famous Battle of Ishiyama. The area was so fortified that even Nobunaga gave up on conquering it and made peace with it, so Hideyoshi chose this area to pacify the country and build his castle, and is said to have the closest connection to the enshrined deity. It is considered to be the perfect sacred area for worship.
