Gongu Shrine
〒652-0007 兵庫県神戸市兵庫区五宮町２２−２２
Located in Hyogo Ward, Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture, this shrine is one of the eight branch shrines of Ikuta Shrine. It has been worshipped since ancient times as the Ujigami (local tutelary deity) of the Okunohara region.
History
The kami were enshrined here through invitation from Amahohi Shrine in Nogi District, Izumo Province. It is said that Empress Jingu visited this shrine on her return journey from the Three Kingdoms of Korea. Historically serving as the local tutelary deity of Okunohara, it was registered during the Edo period as one of the eight branch shrines of Ikuta Shrine. In the 4th year of Meiji (1871 CE), it was designated as under the jurisdiction of Minatogawa Shrine, but due to petitions emphasizing its deep historical ties with Ikuta Shrine, it reverted to its previous status.

What visitors say
The shrine is situated on a hilltop, offering panoramic views of the city. The approach passes through narrow residential streets, and walking access involves steep slopes, which can be challenging. The availability of Goshuin (calligraphic seal stamps) varies by day, so it is advisable to check in advance or consider obtaining them at nearby shrines.
