5 minute walk from Namba Station in Osaka, this shrine has a portion that is shaped like a demon's head. For New Year's the followers got together to create a large rope for a great big Tug-of-War. People first get together to create the rope, which is a truely amazing team building excersize as people jump over one another to braid a giant rope. Then after a little tug-or-war, they carry the rope around in a mini procession.
