Morning Walk at Sumiyoshi Shrine in Fukuoka

Just a 15-minute leisurely walk from Hakata Station, this shrine, nestled among the urban jungle of buildings, is the first shrine dedicated to the god of the sea.

Passing through the red torii gates reminiscent of Kyoto's Fushimi Inari, you'll feel a distinct separation between the serene shrine grounds and the bustling world outside as you look back on the path you've walked.

For those staying near Hakata Station, start your morning at Sumiyoshi Shrine, a peaceful retreat amidst the busy city.

🌳 Address: 3 Chome-1-51 Sumiyoshi, Hakata Ward, Fukuoka, 812-0018

🌻 Admission: Free

⚘ Tip: Nearby, you can also visit Rakusuien, a small, charming, and well-maintained garden worth exploring.
