Kukibi Shrine
〒668-0813 兵庫県豊岡市下宮３１８−２
Located in Toyooka City, Hyogo Prefecture, this shrine is famous for its amulets (omamori) for childbirth and safe delivery, which feature a stork design.
History
The shrine's origins are said to date back to the reign of Emperor Chūai, when a stork was captured and offered as a tribute. The area where the bird lived was named Kukibi, and Kukinochi, a deity of trees, was enshrined there. Records from the Edo period also refer to the deity as Munakata Daimyōjin, and some theories suggest that the enshrined deity is Takirihime-no-Mikoto. The main hall (honden) was built in 1515 CE (Eiō 4) during the Muromachi period and is designated as an Important Cultural Property.
