生田神社は、兵庫県神戸市中央区にある神社である。式内社(名神大)で、旧社格は官幣中社。

かつて、現在の神戸市中央区の一帯が社領であり、これが「神戸」という地名の語源となる。地元では「生田さん」として親しまれており、初詣時期にはもちろん、それ以外の時期にも参拝客が絶えない。

祭神は稚日女尊(わかひるめのみこと)である。「稚く瑞々しい日の女神」を意味し、天照大神の幼名とも妹とも和魂であるとも言われる。

Ikuta Shrine is a Shinto shrine in Chuuo-ku, Kobe-shi, Hyogo. In a company (the Meishin Expressway size) in the expression, the old shrine ranking is an offering from an official middle-scale shrine.

The whole area of current Chuuo-ku, Kobe-shi is land belonging to a Shinto shrine, and this becomes the etymology of the place name called "Kobe" once. It is got close as "Ikuta" in the hometown, and of course a worshiper does not die out in the time except it in the New Year's visit to a Shinto shrine time either.

The enshrined deity is 稚日女尊 (わかひるめのみこと). I mean "the goddess of the day when 稚 く is fresh and young", and it is said to be gentle and virtuous divine spirit or soul with both the childhood name of the Sun-Goddess and the younger sister.
