Coffee & Blessings in Tenjin – Blue Bottle ☕ + Lucky Fox Shrine 🦊⛩️

#holidayitinerary #august2025 #weekendgetaway
Looking for a mix of modern vibes and spiritual charm in Fukuoka? Tenjin offers just that!

☕ Blue Bottle Coffee Tenjin
Minimalist, stylish, and oh-so-calm. Watching the baristas craft each cup is an art form in itself. I went for their signature pour-over — clean, smooth, and the perfect morning pick-me-up. The kind of coffee that makes you slow down and appreciate every sip.

⛩️ Ima-masu Inari Shrine (within Kego Shrine)
Just a few steps away, I found this hidden spiritual gem. Small but full of charm, the shrine is dedicated to a deity said to bring ever-growing abundance. The highlight? Two smiling fox statues! After a prayer, it’s tradition to stroke them for good luck and blessings that follow you around. I, of course, gave them plenty of pats.

🌟 The contrast was magical: sipping artisan coffee in a trendy café one moment, then finding peace in a quiet shrine the next. It’s Fukuoka’s soul in a nutshell — blending modern lifestyle with timeless tradition.
