⛩️ [Course 2] Quiet Mind Walk – Kashii Shrine or Kushida Shrine

The shrines that are good for a quiet walk after breakfast are Kushida Shrine (櫛田神社) near the city center, and Kashii Shrine (香椎宮) with a quiet atmosphere.
• Kushida Shrine
→ Located in the center of Hakata, with excellent accessibility
→ The center of Fukuoka's representative festival, 'Hakata Gion Yamakasa'
→ It's a small shrine, but it's good for praying, and there are photo spots here and there
• Kashii Shrine
→ Located in the eastern part of Fukuoka, a quiet and lush forest path
→ Local atmosphere with more local elderly people than tourists
→ It's perfect for a walk with a traditional bridge and pond

🌿 TIP: Kashii Shrine if you want a quiet atmosphere, Kushida Shrine if you want access to the city center!
