✓Ikuta Shrine

Not far from Kobe Sannomiya Station, there is a popular Ikuta Shrine, which covers a large area and has a history of 1,800 years. It enshrines the sister goddess "Chihiro Nyono-son" of Amaterasu Omikami, the inner shrine of Ise Shrine.

Ikuta Shrine is a famous shrine for love and relationship. "Chihiro Nyono-son" is also the god of weaving. It is said that weaving two threads together is like connecting fate together, so it attracts many people who pray for love and hope to find a relationship to come and worship.

Behind the shrine is the Ikuta Forest. In the forest, there is the Ikuta Shrine's sacred tree "Kusu no Sacred Tree" that has grown for about 500 years. It is quite huge and spectacular, and you can also take a walk to enjoy the cool air.
