An oasis in the city. I went to Ikuta Shrine, Kobe's matchmaking shrine.

The deity worshipped here is Wakahirume-no-Mikoto, who is said to be either the child or younger sister of the sun goddess Amaterasu Omikami. She is said to be the deity of matchmaking and love fulfillment. Within the grounds is Ikuta Forest, which was the site of the Genpei War. There is a camphor tree that is hundreds of years old, and many people touch its trunk to receive its energy, making it a power spot and healing spot. In addition to the usual fortune-telling slips, there are also water fortune-telling slips, which, when dipped into the pond in Ikuta Forest, will have characters appear. (Water fortune-telling slips can be purchased at the reception to the right of the entrance.) Each fortune-telling slip is 300 yen. About a 10-minute walk from Sannomiya Station on all lines. #0yentravelNovember
