On the south side of Osaka Castle, along Kamimachi-suji street from Naniwano Miya to Tennoji is an area crowded with approx. 200 temples and shrines. Once Hideyoshi enforced dominance over the temples and ordered them to serve as fortresses. Many of these temples accept worshippers without an admission fee. Follow the seven slopes of Tennoji going through the townhouses and temples/shrines. It is a town where prayer is alive in everyday life.
