⑥ More information on the locations I’ve visited in this video:

▶ Kobe Station (from Wikipedia)
Kobe Station (神戸駅, Kōbe-eki) is a railway station in Chūō-ku, Kobe, Japan, operated by West Japan Railway Company (JR West). Although Kobe Station is the namesake of the city of Kobe, Kobe City Hall and the commercial center of Kobe is closer to Kobe-Sannomiya Station.
The station technically forms the end point of the Tokaido Main Line and the starting of the Sanyo Main Line. This fact is barely discernible in current practice because only a few trains originate or terminate at Kobe; as a result, the station is more commonly perceived as being in the midsection of the JR Kobe Line, an alternative name for the section of the Tokaido and Sanyo lines between Osaka and Himeji.
Kobe Station opened on 11 May 1874. With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR West.
The area to the south of the station was previously a freight yard, but was redeveloped and became a waterfront commercial center called Harborland.
Escalators and underground pathways link pedestrian traffic from the above-ground Kobe Station with the relatively close underground stations of Kosoku Kobe on the Kobe Rapid Railway and Harborland on the Kaigan Line of the Kobe Municipal Subway.

▶ Minatogawa Shrine (from Wikipedia and minatogawajinja.or.jp)
Minatogawa Shrine (湊川神社, Minatogawa-jinja) is a Shinto shrine in Chūō-ku, Kobe, Japan, roughly on the site of the Battle of Minatogawa established in 1872.
The enshrined kami is the spirit of Masashige Kusunoki, a military commander. It is one of the Fifteen Shrines of the Kenmu Restoration.
A famous shrine in Kobe that enshrines Masashige Kusunoki, a famous general of the Northern and Southern Courts who was regarded as a saint with the three virtues of wisdom, benevolence, and bravery.KusunokiNankouIt is one of the largest number of people in Hyogo Prefecture who come to pray for safe childbirth, shrine visits, Shichi-go-san festivals, warding off evil, and family life milestones. On New Year’s Day, more than 1 million worshipers from all over the country visit the shrine for New Year’s visit, making it the busiest place in the city.
On the official website, we will tell you about the achievements of Masashige Kusunoki, the unknown history of Kusunoki, as well as the etiquette of visiting the shrine, life rituals, annual events of the shrine, etc.
