弁天町は、大阪市港区に位置する町で、その名は「弁財天」を祀る神社に由来します。
かつては大阪湾に近い港町として栄え、物流や海運の拠点として重要な役割を果たしてきました。周辺には古い町並みや漁業の面影も残り、歴史と現代が調和した地域です。

Bentencho, located in Osaka’s Minato Ward, takes its name from Benzaiten, a Japanese goddess enshrined in the area.
Historically, it flourished as a port town near Osaka Bay and played a key role in maritime trade and transportation. Today, traces of its past fishing and shipping culture remain, blending with the modern urban landscape.

Every summer, a grand festival is held at the shrine, with numerous food stalls and a lively, festive atmosphere. It’s a wonderful opportunity to experience local traditions and is highly recommended for visitors.
