Sumiyoshi-taisha, also known as Sumiyoshi Grand Shrine, is one of the oldest and most important Shinto shrines in Osaka, Japan. Established in the 3rd century, it enshrines the Sumiyoshi Sanjin, the three gods of sea travel, and is a prime example of Sumiyoshi-zukuri architecture, which is characterized by straight, simple lines and a lack of influence from mainland Asia. The shrine is known for its iconic Taiko-bashi, a picturesque arched bridge, and its vibrant annual festivals, including the Sumiyoshi Matsuri held every summer.
