Koshiki-iwa Shrine
〒662-0092 兵庫県西宮市甑岩町５−４
Located in Nishinomiya City, Hyogo Prefecture, this shrine offers blessings for women's protection, fertility, safe childbirth, and business prosperity. The shrine grounds feature a designated natural monument, the shrine forest, which is also known as a habitat for the scientifically valuable Hime-yuzuriha (Japanese yew) trees.
History
Its predecessor is believed to be the Okuninushi-nishi Shrine listed in the Engishiki (a 10th-century codex). In the second year of the Meireki era (1656 CE), the monk Kyoshun of Enman-ji Temple enshrined the deity Hiruko Ookami, invited from Nishinomiya Shrine. Since ancient times, it has been a center for nature worship, venerating sacred rocks such as the Koshi-iwa, and has been revered as a spiritual rock of ancient faith.
