About sukunahikona-jinja

Sukunahikona Shrine in Dosho-machi, Chuo-ku, Osaka, is affectionately known as "Shinno-san" and serves as the sacred sanctuary of the medicine deities.

The shrine honors Sukunahikona-no-mikoto and Shinno Entei (the Chinese god of medicine and herbs), offering divine protection for healing illnesses, promoting longevity, and blessing those in medical and pharmaceutical professions.

Strategically located in Dosho-machi, the heart of Japan's pharmaceutical industry, the shrine enjoys deep reverence from the medical and pharmaceutical communities.

During the annual Shinno Festival in November, decorative paper tigers are distributed as protective charms, drawing countless visitors seeking health and wellness. This is the perfect power spot for anyone wishing for good health and healing.
