Colorful omikuji to tell your fortune

Lots of steps up to the shrine

Bonsai pines on display

If you don't get a good fortune tie it in a knot and leave it behind!

Too early for cherryblossom but we could see the buds

Heart shaped ema boards

We followed a walking trail from Sannomiya Station in Kobe through the streets of Kitano-cho with it's beautiful old European style mansions until we ended up at Tenman Shrine. When we arrived, a wedding was in progress, so we couldn't enter the main part of the shrine until it was over. However it was no hardship to wait, because it allowed us time to admire the great view over Kobe, the bonsai pine display, and the wedding party too!
