Ikuta Shrine
生田神社
Ikuta Shrine is one of Japan's oldest shrines and the spiritual heart of Kobe — the city's very name derives from the households that once served it. Dedicated to Wakahirume, a goddess associated with weaving and bonds between people, it is popular for prayers for love and good relationships.
