Ikuta Shrine
Ikuta Jinja in Kobe, Hyogo Prefecture, is one of the oldest shrines in Japan, with a founding tradition dating to 201 CE during the reign of Empress Jingu. The shrine enshrines Waka-Hirume-no-Mikoto, a solar deity closely associated with Amaterasu. The shrine gave its name to the Ikuta district, which eventually expanded into modern Kobe's downtown area (Sannomiya and Kitano neighborhoods). During the 1995 Great Hanshin Earthquake, the shrine suffered significant damage but was restored and continues to be a beloved landmark in central Kobe.
