Asazawa Jinja (Shrine)
11, 2-chome, Kamisumiyoshi , Sumiyoshi -ku
[ Hosoegawa ] by Hankai Railway about 200m to the east
@This shrine belongs to the Sumiyoshi Shrine , situated at the different place of the master Shrine and Ichikishimahimeno-Mikoto is enshrined . From the time of Nara era , this area was called Asazawa-Ono, for there were lots of ponds and marshes , with the Hosoe River running through and it was famous for its kakitsubata flowers ( irises ) , so we are able to find its scenery in the Manyoshu ( collected poems ) .Now a moat surrounds the shrine and irrises are planted as a keepsake .
