【創 建 (Beginning of history)】

There are various theories about our founding, but it is said that empress Jingong was dedicated to Oe on the southern coast of Yodogawa and watanabe land (west of present-day Tenman Bridge, near Ishimachi) when she returned from Silla.

The Enki ceremony of the Heian period is marked as the only shrine in The Saisei-gun of Aizu-kuni, and it has reached the present day as a native god. In addition, since the second year of Tenkei (939), emperor Suzaku's reign, he has been in line for 11 companies in the prayer rain, and since then he has often been kept in prayer and dedication to the prayers and prayers of rain and rain.

Zama Shrine shrine <坐摩神社行宮>

Tensho 10 years (1582) Toyotomi Hideyoshi's Osaka Castle was ordered to replace the ground, and it was transferred to the present place during the Kan'ei year. The current name of the jinza place was called Watanabe, and the original place name was moved, and it is also the birthplace of the surnames of Watanabe and Watanabe etc. in the whole country. In Ishimachi, which is said to be the old shrine site, our shrine (Imperial Palace) is still enshrined.

In 1868, during The Emperor Meiji's Osaka Yukiyuki, he was worshiped by our company and watched sumo.

In 1936, when it was lined up in the Kanmin Nakasha, the magnificent company was built in 1959 and was restored as it was before the war with reinforced concrete.

【由 緒 (history)】

Ikuigami Fukui-jin Tsunanagai-jin Habiki-jin Asunami-jin Or more five pillars of the festival god collectively, my name is Zama-jin.
This Zama god has long been believed by the general public as the god of residence protection, the god of travel safety, and the god of anansan.
The guardian of the residence prevents unexpected harm to the residence of the person, and it protects the safety and the disaster of the people who live, and even if it is made to the imperial family in this meaning, this god was a festival as the guardian deity of the Imperial Palace continuously until today since Emperor Jinmu, and all the general people were celebrating as the guardian deity of the family in old times.
Travel safety is a charm everywhere people step on their feet, so they are protected so that they don't encounter a disaster that they never thought would be, especially when they were out or traveling far away.
There is a song of the guardian who prays to Zama-jin for safety during the trip to Manbashu.
The God of Ansan is known as the god of safe delivery from ancient times because empress Jingong prayed to our company for the safe delivery when Emperor Ogami was born.
When Emperor Meiji was born nearby, there was a prayer from the Imperial Family in particular for the safe delivery, and it was just on the day of our autumn festival.

This shrine was enshrined in the southern zuebe of the present Tenmanbashi bridge until the Toyotomi Hideyoshi era, and it was the only shrine and clan god in Settsu-kuni Nishinari-gun (one area west of present-day Osaka Castle).

The land near this Tenman Bridge was called Watanabe, but in 11 years, it was enshrined in the osaka castle construction of Toyoko, and it became a place outside the festival, and the name of the town here was also the original place name of Watanabe-cho.

As mentioned above, our company is the oldest and most historic shrine in Osaka, and it was promoted to Kanminchusha in 1946, but in 1947, the company status was abolished by the ordinance.

However, along with the imperial family's peace, we have been able to protect the safety and development of the worshipers and the development of The Ujiko.

[Otaky Point] (Points Selected by Japan Otaku)

I will introduce the preliminary knowledge that you will be interested in this shrine from a otaku's point of view.

About "Sagi maru" of the white heron of the god crest

What is the origin of "sagi maru" of the white heron of the god crest?
Empress Jingong (jingu kogo) (the 14th Empress of Emperor Nakaai) followed the teachings of The God of Sashiri no Kami, "Choose a place where white herons flock to the pine branches of Tajima (near the present Tenman bridge) on the shore of Oe, The Kingdom of Settsu."

The place still remains as a travel place of the old company site "Zama Shrine Gyogu"

In the precincts, a huge stone called "The Zhenza stone of Empress Jingong" is enshrined.

Please see the article of "Zama Shrine Gyogu" Gosho

It is the birthplace of the surname "Watanabe", "Watanabe", "Watanabe" and "Watanabe", and it is the guardian deity of Watanabe-cho Watanabetsu.

The surname "Watanabe" of various typefaces is said to be the same family, and "Zama Shrine Gogu" which is considered to be the company site at the time of its foundation is said to be the birthplace of the "Watanabe" surname.

The origin of the "Watanabe" family name is saga genji, a clan that was separated from the 52nd Emperor Saga (786-842), one of the 21 sects of Genji by the Emperor.

The descendant of Watanabe Tsuna (953-1025) is said to be the founder.

At that time, it was "minamoto no yorimitsu" which corresponded to the current stream of Genji Seiwa in the beam of Mr. Gen Settsu who was in charge of this area, and he had a strong vassal such as Yorimitsu Shitenno (Watanabe Tsuna, Sakata Kintoki, Usui Sadamitsu, Bokbe Kimu) by obtaining a government position by following fujiwara clan and accumulating financial strength.

Watanabe Tsuna (watanabe no tsuna), who was the head of this four ten kings, seems to have been famous as a beautiful man who roars with great bravery, and it seems to have been famous and popular for his anecdote in which the demon's arm was cut off with Genji's famous sword "The Sword of The Beard" on the Ichijo Return Bridge in Kyoto.

"minamoto no tsuna" ( watanabe no tsuna) after watanabe no tsuna was based in Watanabe village in present-day Nishinari-ku, Osaka City and called himself Watanabe Tsuna

It is estimated that the former Yodogawa estuary, which was called Watanabetsu, Kubozu, Oe, etc., is around the "Zama Shrine Shrine Shrine" Imperial Palace.

After living in Watanabetsu, Tsuna takes his first name as Watanabe, the shrine of Watanabezu, a port that sails off the Yodo River from Kyoto.

In Watanabetsu, "Prince Watanabe (also known as Prince Kubozu)" and "Ikasuri shrine" (ikasuri shrine) who were considered the first prince to visit Kumano temple were enshrined.

Their descendants develop into samurai groups called Watanabe Party, and while based on the sea of Sumiyoshi (Suminoe) in Settsu Province (Osaka Bay), they take control of the water army of the Seto Inland Sea (Murakami Water Army) and play an active part from the War of Genpei to the North-South Dynasty, and the founder of the water army "Matsuura Party" in Kyushu will also spread its power to the whole country with the departure of The Watanabe clan.

It was the gift of "ikasuri no kami" that became such a family, wasn't it?

About Watanabe's town name

The name of the present jinza place is called Watanabe, and the original place name was moved, and it is the birthplace of the surname of Watanabe, Watanabe, etc. in the whole country.

The current address notation is

"4-chome Watanabe No. 3, Kutaro-cho, Chuo-ku, Osaka" is a little irregular

It is said that "Watanabe-cho" left the name of "Watanabe" as the street district code after the chome in the policy of the government because "National Watanabe-kai" caused a movement against the disappearance of the origin of "Watanabe-cho" of the Watanabe family name when "Watanabe-cho" became an integrated disappearance by the place name change due to the district integration in 1930.
