A Historic Shrine Listed in the "Engishiki Shinmyocho"

"Abita Shrine," located approximately a 16-minute walk from Hankyu Railway Makiochi Station, is a shrine with a history of more than 1,000 years, written in the "Engishiki Shinmyocho" of the Heian period. The deity enshrined is "Susanoo no Mikoto," and it is said to bring blessings such as marriage. The approach to the temple, which extends on three sides of the shrine grounds, is said to bring good luck due to the phrase "sampo yoshi" in business, and the shrine grounds can be enjoyed in all seasons.

The Adorable Yuzu-Shaped Yuzumi Kuji

Minoh City is known for its yuzu production, and the charming "Yuzumi Kuji"—a fortune slip tucked inside a yellow, yuzu-shaped ceramic charm—has become a popular keepsake. The yellow color is traditionally associated with warding off misfortune, and many visitors take the charm home as a symbol of good luck. The Yuzumi Kuji is available year-round at the shrine office and makes a delightful memento of your visit.
