大阪　Ōsaka - City name
南地 Nanchi - Place name
利久　Riku (or Rikyū) - Name of a restaurant

It is a so-called Senjafuda 千社札 (a thousand srine
label) - votive sticker with the pilgrim's name stuck, among others, on the gates and pillars of shrines and temples. In many cases restaurants, shops etc. also put up their fudas as a form of free advertisement. To place a fuda in a temple facility nowadays often subject to authiorization.

With regards,
I.Nagy
