Osaka Tenmangū is a Shinto shrine in Osaka's Kita Ward dedicated to the scholar Sugawara no Michizane, founded in 949 by order of Emperor Murakami. Destroyed by fire several times, its main hall was rebuilt in 1843. The shrine holds the Tenjin Matsuri every 24–25 July, with a procession of boats on the river.
Shitennō-ji is a Buddhist temple in Tennōji ward that, according to tradition, Prince Shōtoku founded in 593, which makes it one of the oldest officially founded temples in Japan. Its central precinct sets the middle gate, five-storey pagoda, Golden Hall and lecture hall in a single line; the buildings were last rebuilt in 1963. A garden and a treasure hall lie beside it.
Sumiyoshi-taisha in Sumiyoshi ward is the head shrine of the Sumiyoshi shrines across Japan, dedicated to three sea gods and Empress Jingū. Its four main sanctuaries, built in 1810 in the Sumiyoshi-zukuri style that predates mainland influence, are National Treasures; the steeply arched Sorihashi bridge, in its present form from about 1600, leads to them.
