Osaka Bay

It's dedicated to four kami, the Sumiyoshi Sanjin, the three gods of the sea and safe travel, and Empress Jingu, a semi-mythical ruler said to be protected by them These deities weren't just symbolic.

Osaka Bay was one of the busiest sea routes in ancient Japan, and sailors leaving from here generally believed that these gods guided their ships, watched over their journey, and stood guard over the line between this world and the next.

Long before radar, before weather reports, before there was any real way to know what waded past the horizon, sailors here relied on something else entirely, the oracle.

In old Shinto practice, that state even has a name, Kamigakari.

In this survey, we evaluated the Kinki region in three areas of the Kinki Northwest, the Kinki Triangle, and the Kii Peninsula, and evaluated a total of 45 mountain ranges.

Among them, the Kinki Triangle, which includes parts of Osaka Bay, Ise Bay, and Wakasa Bay, is an area where mountain ranges are particularly concentrated throughout the country.

In this area, 38 of them are to be evaluated, and within the next 30 years, the probability of an earthquake occurring in one of them is 40% to 60%.

The Earthquake Administration sought this evaluation based on the length, time of activity in the past, and the feeling of an earthquake occurring.

Beyond the persistent, grating heat, the report also projects acute catastrophic events.

It warns of a powerful super typhoon with three hundred and sixty kilometers per hour wind gusts making landfall and unleashing its tsunami-like storm surge of more than five meters in Osaka Bay.
