The Osaka Convention & Tourism Bureau's osaka-info.jp page on Sukunahikona Shrine, known locally as Shinno-san, is an official regional tourism authority's account of the shrine dedicated to the medicine deity Sukunahikona. Its strength is direct local institutional knowledge of the shrine's history and role. Its limit is that it is tourism authority material rather than an independent scholarly source, so a claim about the shrine's deeper ritual or theological significance needs a dedicated study of Shinto practice.
Facts
Assessment
Reliability TierThe Osaka Convention & Tourism Bureau's own osaka-info.jp page on Sukunahikona Shrine, the middle tier reflecting that it is an official regional tourism authority's account rather than an independent scholarly source, though it draws on the authority's own local knowledge of the shrine and its association with the deity Sukunahikona. Cite it for the shrine's basic identification and visitor facing description rather than for deeper ritual interpretation. NotesThe official tourism information site of Osaka's city-affiliated convention and tourism bureau, an institutional rather than academic source but a direct, editorially maintained record of a real, currently operating shrine and festival. Used here only for the shrine's Doshomachi setting and the Shinnosai festival's dates and shinko tiger-charm custom. 1 Citation
