Tamatsukuri Inari Shrine is said to have been built in 12 B.C. The shrine gets its name from the makers of decorative gems called "Magatama" who lived in the area at the time. During the reign of Toyotomi and Tokugawa, the shrine was known as the home of the guardian deity of Osaka Castle. They say Toyotomi Hideyoshi and his family held tea ceremonies here with Sen-no-Rikyu, a tea ceremony master. The shrine has burned down several times, including during the fall of Osaka Castle and the air raids of World War II. The current shrine is a post-World War II reconstruction. A shrine gate donated by Toyotomi Hideyoshi's son stands on the shrine grounds along with a monument built in Sen-no-Rikyu's honor. There's also a museum where gem relics, ancient earthenware, and other valuable materials related to the history of gems and the process of gem-making can be found on display.
