[Fukuoka] Experience the essence of Fukuoka! From Yanagibashi Market to Sumiyoshi Shrine ✨

Yanagibashi Market, known as Hakata's kitchen, and the historic Sumiyoshi Shrine are the perfect combination for a walking tour of Fukuoka.

Both are easily accessible from the Tenjin/Hakata area, allowing you to experience both flavors and power spots within walking distance.⭐️

Start at Yanagibashi Market.
Established in the early Showa period, this market is packed with over 50 stalls selling fresh fish, dried goods, prepared foods, pickles, and more, creating a lively atmosphere.♪
The friendly atmosphere is so Hakata-esque.😊

In addition to sampling mentaiko and sashimi, you can also find restaurants with morning lines. Their specialty "market sushi" and "eel bento" are sure to sell out, so be sure to get there early.
Perfect for breakfast or lunch.💡
There's also a rare whale specialty shop.🐟

After leaving the market, it's a 10-minute walk to Sumiyoshi Shrine. With over 1,800 years of history, this prestigious shrine has been worshipped as a deity for safe voyages and protection from evil.

The main hall, designated a National Important Cultural Property, is built in the magnificent "Sumiyoshi-zukuri" architectural style.
The grounds also feature a popular "power stone" (chikaraishi) and a soothing carp pond.
Despite being located in the heart of the city, you can experience a tranquil and dignified atmosphere.

A half-day trip to experience the unique life of Fukuoka.
This route combines sightseeing with a sense of local warmth, making it a highly recommended experience. ❤️
