Step into the heart of Osaka’s Umeda district and uncover the haunting legend of Tsuyu-no-Tenjinja Shrine, better known as Ohatsu Tenjin. In this Supernatural Japan episode, we explore the shrine’s 1,300-year history, its ties to the scholar-deity Sugawara no Michizane, and the tragic 1703 love-suicide of Ohatsu and Tokubei—immortalized in the famous bunraku play Sonezaki Shinju. Blending folklore, history, and ghostly romance, this episode dives into why Ohatsu Tenjin remains one of Japan’s most powerful spiritual sites for love, loss, and lingering spirits.
