Located near the Hyotanyama tomb mound, which was constructed in the 6th century. Ukemochi-no-Okami is enshrined here, and Hyotanyama Inari is a tsujiura (paper fortune-telling slip) head shrine.In 1584, while building Osaka Castle, Toyotomi Hideyoshi deified Hyotan Inari as the guardian of the holy lands to the southeast along with a golden hyotan (gourd).Tsujiura paper fortunes have always been based around the priest's observations of the customer's actions, speech, or belongings. That method is still used today. It eliminates ambivalence and has to be proven very successful in inviting prosperity. Tsujiura fortunes were once told at the Dojima rice market.
