Kitano Tenman Shrine is one of Kobe’s major Shinto shrines, located in an unusual location of Kitano Ijinkan, the place associated with foreign residences from the late Meiji and early Taisho eras. The shrine has been constructed in the year 1180, while in the year 1724 a central hall was added. The shrine fortunately did not suffer any damage during the second world war or the Great Hanshin Earthquake in 1995. The shrine is at the end of a hiking trail, starting from Sannomiya Station and passing through the streets of Kitano. If you visit in summer, make sure you carry couple of water bottles to prevent dehydration.
