Himuro Shrine
〒652-0054 兵庫県神戸市兵庫区氷室町２丁目１５−１
A shrine that enshrines Emperor Nintoku as its main deity. It has long been known as a site associated with ice harvesting and various historical events.
History
The founding date is unknown, but the shrine originated when Prince Norita-Oohirohiko presented ice harvested from this area, which was once a forbidden zone, leading to the enshrinement of Emperor Nintoku. This location also served as the site where Heiyo Yoshimori built a residence to imprison Emperor Go-Shirakawa. From the Genroku period onward, it was revered as the 'Himuro Ruins' and as a Benzaiten shrine. In the 8th year of Meiji (1875 CE), a branch of Fushimi Inari Taisha was invited and established here.
