    Hyogo Kobe-shi Nada-ku Shinoharakitamachi 4-5-1
    This shrine is located in a quiet residential district about a five-minute drive from Hankyu Rokko Station. Cherry trees have been planted along the busway in front of the shrine's grounds. It enshrines the more than 50,000 war dead from within its jurisdiction. The impressive shiraki nagare-style shrine building and shrine office were originally built on the former site of Kwansei Gakuin University in Kobe's Nada District. The shrine was designated as one of several Gokoku Shrines (a shrine for the country's war dead) by the prewar Home Minister. However, the original shrine was lost during the war. The current shrine building is recreation built in 1959. Every month on the fourth Sunday, the shrine hosts the Bazaar in Rokko event. On the last Friday and Saturday of each July it hosts the Mitama Festival, which bustles with many visitors.

    平日の11:50に参拝 1時まで昼休憩のため御朱印は対応しない旨のさげふだがインターホンにかかっていた 当然、声をかけても無反応 12時過ぎなら当然昼休憩であるが、これはいかがなものか この程度の神社だと思って、むしろ御朱印はもらえなくてよかった

    Hyogo Pref. Koubeshi Nada-ku Mayasanchou Malayama scuffing platform
    This is a promenade at the observation area “Kikuseidai” at the top of Mt. Maya in the Rokko Range of mountains. The path includes stones that glow in the dark, and in the evening countless blue lights emerge. Visitors can enjoy a magical sight like the Milky Way. The outlook from the Kikuseidai Observation area is one of Japan’s three greatest night views and is a great spot to view the night scenery of Kobe and is also called the “ten million dollar night view”. It is popular as a date spot because couples can enjoy the breathtaking scenery. The area is as soon as you get off the Maya Ropeway at “Hoshi no Eki Station” (Star Station).

Hyogo prefecture stretches from the north coast to the south coast on the western end of the popular Kansai region, encompassing verdant mountains, urban beaches, and fantastic historical sights. The prefecture’s main attractions lie along the south coast at Kobe, the prefectural capital, a pretty harbor city best known for its production of the renowned Kobe beef, and Himeji, the home of Himeji Castle, one of the country’s most beautifully preserved feudal castles, perched magically atop a hill.
