Kotoura-jinja, Shinto shrine in Amagasaki, Japan

Kotoura-jinja is a Shinto shrine in Kotoura-chō, Amagasaki, facing Kotoura-dōri, the old China Road, with its main hall built facing south. Its grounds hold a first-order leveling point, name 10699, at an elevation of 0.2276 m. The shrine is dedicated to Minamoto no Tōru, ancestor of the Saga Genji.

The shrine venerates Minamoto no Tōru, ancestor of the Saga Genji and said to be the model for Genji in The Tale of Genji. He built the Kawarain residence in Kyoto's Rokujō during the Kanpyō era (889–898), where a garden imitated the scenery of Shiogama in Mutsu; tradition holds that 20 koku of seawater were carried daily from this spot to boil salt. The same origin is claimed by the Susanoo Shrine at Shioe in Amagasaki.

The name Kotoura comes from the slightly raised ground by the sea, whose coastal view was considered finer than elsewhere, hence also called Iura. The shrine's deity, Minamoto no Tōru, is said to have modeled the garden of his Kyoto residence, Kawarain, on the scenery of Shiogama in Mutsu, and had salt water from this area carried to Kyoto daily to make salt.

The shrine faces Kotoura-dori, the old China Kaido road, with its main hall oriented south. It is 300 metres north of Hanshin Amagasaki Center Pool-mae Station and also served by the Kotoura-jinja bus stop. A first-order benchmark (point name 10699, elevation 0.2276 m) stands within the grounds.

The shrine grounds hold a first-order levelling benchmark, point name 10699, at 0.2276 m above sea level. The grounds also keep white sand said to ward off venomous snakes, and people travel from far away to receive some of it.
