8 Shrines & Japanese Lunch Tour in Kobe
Kobe's name is said to be drawn from the kanji used to write Ikuta Shrine's name in Japanese. This tour leads visitors to draw one of Ikuta Shrine's famed water mikuji fortunes, and also to visit each of its sub-shrines. Some parts of the tour may involve taxis for scheduling reasons, and also introductions to monuments that represent the city of Kobe. Join us for an eight-shrine tour of traditional gan-kake prayer hangings, yaku-barai purification, and prayer for health and good fortune. The tour concludes with a Japanese-style lunch.
