Kanden Shrine
Located on the north side of Kaizuka Station on the Nankai Railway, this shrine is the guardian deity (local deity) of the land of Kaizuka Jinanimachi, formerly known as Kandakawara Daimyojin.
The second resident priest of Sofukuji Jinanimachi, Enkai, built a ceramic shrine around 1582 to worship Kanda Kawara Daimyojin, the guardian deity of Kaizuka Jinaimachi. However, he changed the character for "kawara" to "kawara" and named it Kandengawara Daimyojin. After that, the lord of Kishiwada domain, impressed by the deity's virtue, donated a shrine land to the shrine, and the character for "kami" (god) was changed to "kan" (feeling), and the shrine was named Kandengawara Daimyojin.
In 1658, the shrine building was rebuilt, and in 1659, it was placed in the order of the 62 shrines in the Izumi-shiki. Following the separation of Shinto and Buddhism after the Meiji Restoration, it was designated a local shrine in 1872, and in 1907, Umisatoe Shrine was enshrined there.
