[Fukuoka/Hakata] Lots to see! Hakata's hidden gem Kushida Shrine

#SeasonalPlacesInJapan #ShrineVisiting

I'd like to introduce you to Kushida Shrine, which suddenly appears in a prosperous residential area of Hakata, not far from Canal City!

It's an area that's easy to miss, but if you go there, there are many things to see, so it's a recommended tourist spot◎

🌟Personal highlights
① Hakata Gion Yamakasa Display
The Yamakasa used in the festival held every July is always on display at Kushida Shrine. It's so large in scale that it can't fit on the screen! !

② Reisen Tsuru no Ido
This well has long been believed to be a sacred water for eternal youth and longevity. Please note that drinking it is prohibited⚠️

③ Zodiac Ehoban
Looking at the ceiling of the tower gate, you can see a disk like a compass🧭 with pictures of the twelve zodiac signs hanging. Every year on New Year's Eve, the arrow rotates in the direction of that year📝

④ Multilingual Fortune-telling
I think it's for foreign tourists, but multilingual fortune-telling is available. Besides English, they also have Korean, Chinese, and Taiwanese, so I thought it was a tourist-friendly shrine!
