As I continued exploring the Kitano area, I passed by the Kitano Tenman Shrine, a significant Shinto shrine nestled right in the heart of the historic Ijinkan district. The shrine, originally constructed in 1180, is perched on a slope and is well known for its peaceful atmosphere and its location alongside the famous Western-style mansions of Kitano.
Although I didn’t climb the stairs up to the shrine, I could see its traditional architecture peeking through the trees, offering a tranquil contrast to the surrounding Western residences. The approach to the shrine is unique, winding through the neighborhood rather than following a straight path, and the grounds are said to provide beautiful views over Kobe, especially near the Weathercock House.
The shrine itself is not only a place of worship but also a local landmark that survived both World War II and the Great Hanshin Earthquake without damage, making it a symbol of resilience for the area. Even from below, the presence of Kitano Tenman Shrine added a layer of history and serenity to my walk through this cosmopolitan and architecturally diverse neighborhood.
