Ikuta Shrine: Where History Meets Serenity in Kobe

Ikuta Shrine is one of the oldest Shinto shrines in Japan, with a history dating back over 1,800 years. Located in the heart of Kobe, this sacred site is dedicated to the sun goddess Amaterasu and has played a significant role throughout Japanese history, including serving as a battleground during the Genpei War in the 12th century.

In this walking video, take a peaceful stroll through the serene grounds of Ikuta Shrine. The path is lined with lush greenery, leading to the striking vermillion torii gates and the main shrine building, where visitors come to pray for good fortune and love. The atmosphere is calm and spiritual, offering a quiet retreat from the bustling city.

Along the way, you’ll also see the ema (wooden prayer plaques) left by visitors, as well as the beautiful koi pond and sacred camphor trees, some of which have stood for centuries. Whether you’re here to learn about history, admire the traditional architecture, or simply enjoy a relaxing walk, Ikuta Shrine offers a glimpse into Kobe’s deep cultural heritage.
