"Ikuta Jinja is one of those hidden gems in Kobe that you can't miss. This Shinto shrine has a deep history (it's about 1800 years old!), making it one of the oldest in Japan. It's dedicated to Wakahirume-no-Mikoto, the goddess of fabric, but it's worshipped for something quite special - bringing people together, just like entwined threads. It is a power spot for love and relationships."
Chiara Viscuso
"Visiting this small temple was so nice. As it is not as popular as the ones in Kyoto and Tokyo, there were really few people and it felt more spiritual.
When I went it was drizzling, so it gave it a mystical energy all around. Very peaceful."
