Fakta cepat: A serene oasis in the bustling city, this shrine is dedicated to Wakahirume-no-Mikoto, the Shinto goddess linked to weaving and the arts. It survived the major air raids of World War II, preserving its historic charm amid modern Kobe.
Sorotan: Thousands of tiny ema plaques hang on racks, each painted with wishes and prayers, creating a vibrant mosaic of hopes. The main hall is surrounded by giant ancient camphor trees, their trunks wide and textured, whispering centuries of stories.
