Iwafune Jinja (磐船神社) is located in Katano City, Osaka Prefecture just bordering Osaka and Nara.
Why Rock Ship? The Kanji Iwa (磐) means rock or a big boulder of rock and Fune (船) means ship or boat thus the title. It was believed that these big boulder of rocks where the ship in which the gods used to get to earth.
The Japanese site contains a more detailed description. The English site contains some basic information which will give you some idea how old this place is.
The Shrine is small but full of history.
Going into the shrine is free but if you plan to go down under the rocks, you need to pay a small fee.
How to get there by Train:
By Keihan Train: Take the Keihan Train to Kisaichi Station (私市), and get on the Keihan Bus and get off at Iwafune Jinja Mae. This bus only operates on the weekends (Sat and Sun) only.
By Kintetsu Line: Get off at Ikoma Station and Take the bus bound for Kitadahara (北田原) and get off at the last stop from there it’s about 10 minutes walk to the shrine.
