18th JULY 2024 ~ Unlike Kyoto or Osaka [or Tokyo], temples and shrines were not main attractions for tourists. There was this one big Shinto Shrine in the city called Ikuta Shrine.
The small crowd was bearable and we went to explore the place a bit. I found there were a lot of similarities with other temples I had visited in Japan before.
One of the best features of the shrine was its Japanese garden at the back of the building. It was scorching hot in the city that summer afternoon but once I was in the garden, it was cooler.
That was the one and only temple we went to in Kobe. I am sure there were other shrines and temples in the city.
