What to expect
Tsuyuten-Jinja, also known as Ohatsu Tenjin, is a Shinto shrine located in Osaka, Japan. The shrine has a long history, dating back over 1,300 years, and is said to have been founded on an island in a marshy bay. Today, it stands at the end of a covered shopping arcade called Ohatsu-Tenjindori Shotengai, which is filled with shops, bars, and restaurants. The shrine is famous for its romantic associations and is a popular spot for young couples and those seeking true love. Visitors can write their prayers for success in love on special wooden plaques called ema, and the shrine also features a love sanctuary with a statue of the ill-fated couple Ohatsu and Tokubei. The shrine hosts various events throughout the year, including a flea market on the first Friday of each month and the Reitaisei summer festival in July
