Love shrine

As the epidemic slows down, my life is slowly returning to what it was before the epidemic. Take off your mask and travel every few months. Following the trip to Korea 🇰🇷 in December, I went to Kansai, Japan 🇯🇵 in March. This time, as soon as I arrived at Kansai Airport, I took an express bus from Terminal 1 to Kobe. The fare is 2,000 yen and the journey is expected to take about 1 hour. However, it was rush hour that day and there was a lot of traffic, so it took me almost 2 hours to get there.
After getting off the bus, we first went to Hotel Monterey in Sannomiya to put down our luggage, and then went to the first attraction, Ikuta Shrine⛩️. The shrine is just behind the hotel, less than 2 minutes' walk away. Ikuta Shrine is mainly for people to pray for inspiration and vitality, and many people also come to pray for marriage, which makes Ikuta Shrine known as the love shrine. On that day, we saw many students coming to worship, both male and female.
Since many people come here to pray for love, there are many pink heart-shaped painted horses.
As for me, a bride-to-be who is getting married in about a month, what is the purpose of coming here? I just want to see the row of small red torii gates at Ikuta Inari Shrine!
Personally, I think this small shrine has many photo spots and is in a very convenient location, so you might as well add it to your itinerary!
