Hachinomiya Shrine

This is the 6th and 8th shrine of the eight shrine to be pilgrimage in Kobe to wipe away your bad luck. This shrine is unique, as both rokunomiya and hachinomoya are both located at the same place. The deity enshrined at this shrine are Kumanokusubi-no-mikoto and Sujin-no-Mikoto. Before, the shrine were located separately, but due to the city development, both of the shrines had to be merged and moved from previous to this location, hence the shrine become one. In 1888, the 6th shrines moved 300 meter from original location (Bar Association Building). While, in 1967, the development of Kusunoki Junior High School was making the 8th shrine to be enshrined here. As you can see, the torii was written as the 8th shrine or hachinomomiya, while at the main building, it was divided into two rooms, with the north side belongs to the rokunomiya shrine amd the south belongs to hachinomiya shrine. At the side, you can see the inari taisha with the fox statue and smaller torii.
