Hyogoken Kobe Gokoku Shrine

3.5

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
桜の名所

神戸市灘区の桜の名所。通りがかったことはあるものの、桜があまりにも綺麗だったので、境内に入って参拝しました。
普段は、地元の子供達の遊び場といった感じ

阪急六甲駅から、市バス2系統三ノ宮行か18系統摩耶ケーブル下に乗り、最寄りの停留所護国神社前で降りると、目の前です。乗車時間は、信号待ちも含め7〜8分でしょうか。徒歩でも、20分程度で行けますよ。バス道沿いに歩いた方が分かりやすいと思います。然程小さい神社ではないですが、それほど大きくもないかと…ただ、桜の開花時期は、なかなか綺麗ですよ。普段は、地元の子供等の遊び場といった感じでし...
