vicinity of the temple, which claims some attention from its historic asso- ciations. The bed of the old river Minatogawa was reclaimed in 1910. The upper part of the reclaimed area is now known as Minatogawa Park, where there is a large market. The lower part of the river-bed is a centre for public en- tertainments, such as cinematographs, etc. The shrine dedicated to Kusunoki Masashige, the Imperialists, who fell on this spot in 1336 during the unsuccessful wars for the restoration of the Imperial power, stands between Kobe Station and Okurayama Park, where there is also a large City Library. This shrine has recently acquired national prominence as a leading shrine among those of the state religion. In the park stands a bronze statute of the late Prince Ito, who was one of the most influential and powerful statesmen of Japan in the Meiji period.
