600-year-old Inari shrine on rooftop of Osaka Ekimae Daiichi Building.

600-year-old Inari shrine on rooftop of Osaka Ekimae Daiichi Building.

Shouichii Fukunaga Inari Daimyojin is a Shinto shrine perched on the rooftop of the Osaka Ekimae Daiichi Building at 1-3 Umeda, Kita Ward, Osaka. The shrine dates back roughly 600 years to the Nanbokucho period, when a local resident named Watanabe Juro enshrined an Inari deity as the guardian of his family.

The shrine occupies a fox mound (kitsunezuka) on the north-east corner of the twelfth-floor rooftop, accessed via the external deck from the elevator hall. It features a vivid vermilion torii gate, sacred fox statue (komainu) and a purifying water basin (temizuya). The building lobby displays an information plate with a guide showing shrine hours from 10:00am to 4:30pm.

The shrine is popularly known as yakezu-no-inari (the inari that refused to burn) because it miraculously survived the Great Kita Fire of 1909 while the surrounding district was destroyed. It now stands as an urban sanctuary visited for luck, business prosperity, family safety and harvest blessings.
