传统认为Ikuta Jinja始建于3世纪,是神户最古老的神社之一。

Battles from the Genpei War took place in the Ikuta forest behind the shrine. Two Noh plays, Ebira and Ikuta Atsumori, retell these battles and are performed annually at the shrine's Autumn Festival.

Ikuta Jinja与神户的历史和当地节日紧密相连,展现了其作为市民和宗教中心的悠久历史。

The shrine's goddess Wakahirume is the deity of fabric and weaving. Because threads are entwined together to make cloth, she's worshiped for bringing people together, making this a popular power spot for relationships.
