I thought Kyoto was already beautiful~ until I came to Fukuoka...

🔶: Ukiha Inari Shrine
📍: 1513-9 Nagarekawa, Ukiha City, Fukuoka Prefecture
.
Seeing this endless stretch of red torii gates ⛩️, I believe everyone immediately thinks of Kyoto's "Fushimi Inari Shrine." But this is not Kyoto; it is Ukiha Inari Shrine in Ukiha City, Fukuoka Prefecture~
The torii gates ⛩️ here extend from the foot of the mountain all the way to the summit. From the top, you can overlook the entire Ukiha City, and a main road stretches down to the opposite mountain foot ⛰️, echoing the gates~ It can be called one of Japan's 🇯🇵 most spectacular sights.

🔶: About Transportation
From Fukuoka, you can take the Shinkansen 🚄 from Hakata Station to Kurume City, then transfer to the JR line to Ukiha Station, and walk 🚶 about 30 minutes to reach the shrine~

📷: About Photography
1️⃣: The shrine itself is not large; the most spectacular view is the path of red torii gates ⛩️ from the foot to the summit of the mountain~
2️⃣: You can go to the end of the torii gates ⛩️ and take an aerial shot of the entire city and the gates~ very magnificent!!!
3️⃣: Then further up is the very small main hall~
4️⃣: After shooting this, you can conveniently visit "Tanushimaru Station," a cute station 🚉 built based on the kappa (water sprite) design.

⚠️tips: It takes about 15-20 minutes to hike from the foot to the summit. If you have a car, you can also drive directly to the top, where there is a 🆓 parking lot, saving you the climb~
