Visiting Ikuta Shrine
It's actually beside our hotel where we stayed in
Traditionally Japanese in the center of the very active metropolis of Kobe
Ikuta Shrine is an ancient shrine with over 1,800 years of its history. The name of the area “Kobe” is originated from Kambe, the house protects the deity of Ikuta. Ikuta means the place filled with vibrant energy. It is located in central part of an urban area of Kobe... the Sannomiya.
Japan's many shrines observe the 'Oharae' , the ritual for expelling evil spirits, at the end of June and December, for which the 'Chinowa-kuguri', meaning passing through a circular gate made of Japanese pampas grass, is indispensable.
