Yuzuruha Shrine

4.0

Located about a five-minute walk southeast from the Hankyu Kobe Line's Mikage Station, many visitors come to this Shinto shrine with its symbol of a mythical raven to pray for victory. The shrine has deep ties to Japanese soccer, as Japan's first soccer team hails from Mikage. The shrine shares its raven symbol with the Japan Football Association, and there's even a granite soccer ball statue installed beside the main hall. The figure skater Yuzuru Hanyu has come here to pray before competitions, so it's become a sort of sacred spot for his fans and those who want to cheer him on.

羽生選手ゆかりの名前で

Reviewed : 2020.04.18

阪急御影駅から近くの弓弦羽神社ですが、名前が羽生選手に似通っているということで、有名になっています。絵馬もびっしりと羽生選手関連のものが多かったです。神社そのものは、落ち着いた神社らしい佇まいで、いい雰囲気でした。
