[Fukuoka] The birthplace of "Hakata Gion Yamakasa"

[Kushida Shrine]

This is the shrine where the first Yamakasa festival is held, and the decorated Yamakasa floats are always on display except in June✨
You can see the majestic Yamakasa floats and feel the atmosphere of a grand festival⭐️

Although it is located in the city center, it has a large site area with a magnificent main hall and a large torii gate, and is the main shrine of Hakata, called "Okushida-san" by locals.

It is said to bring good luck in household safety and business prosperity, and the fortune-telling slips are available in multiple languages.
It is a historic shrine that attracts many tourists from overseas✨

The famous "Reizei Crane Well" is now not drinkable, but it is treasured as water for eternal youth and longevity, and is a must-see along with the stone crane statue✨

Right next to "Kushida Shrine" on the Nanakuma Subway Line🚃
It is within walking distance of Hakata Station (15 minutes), and is a good location near Nakasu and Canal City Hakata.
It's located at the entrance to Kawabata Shopping Street, so it's fun to stroll around the shopping street♪

📍Address: 1-41 Kamikawabata-cho, Hakata-ku, Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture
