Hakata's Guardian Shrine - Fukuoka's Most Popular Shrine

🌈Hakata's Guardian Shrine - Fukuoka's Most Popular Shrine ‼️When in Fukuoka, you must visit Kushida Shrine. In addition to its proximity to the transportation hub of Fukuoka Station, Kushida Shrine also boasts a rich history. ✅While there are nearly 100,000 shrines of various sizes in Japan, shrines of Kushida Shrine's scale are rare. We may think of shrines as places of worship, but many festivals, cultural events, and even personal celebrations can be held at shrines. 😎Kushida Shrine publishes a monthly list of events, including many folk activities. As a result, the shrine is bustling with people almost every day. 🌈The torii gate here is a Shinmei-style torii (with right-angled pillars and lintels). There are many theories about the origin of torii gates, with the most common being that they were inspired by ancient Chinese archways. In Japan today, torii gates are seen as pathways connecting the divine and the mundane. ❤️Fortune-telling and fortune interpretation are also very popular here. If you draw a bad fortune, fold it with the written side facing inward and tie it to the designated rack at the shrine. A ceremony will be held to pray for blessings and resolve the bad fortune. If you draw a good fortune, fold it and take it home for safekeeping.
