【Fukuoka】A shrine overlooking the city at a small tourist destination

#FukuokaTravel Kora Taisha Shrine is about a 20-minute drive from the center of Kurume City. It has been called "the mountain where gods live" since ancient times. It is located halfway up Mount Kora and has a long history of more than 1,600 years! This place is not only believed to be a place of deity that protects life and wards off evil spirits and longevity, but also because it is the birthplace of Kagura Kagura, it is regarded as the "god of entertainment", and local entertainers often come here to visit! Shrine tour suggestions: The bird's-eye view is definitely one of the must-see spots when visiting the shrine! You can climb up the steps and stand on a high place to enjoy the beautiful scenery! Don’t forget to visit the “Love Blooms and Bears Observation Deck” inside the shrine. From there you can overlook the entire city of Kurume. It is said that if you can see the statue of Kannon, the Savior Mother, on Mt. Narita, your relationship will be smooth! Therefore, this place has become a particularly effective holy place for praying for marriage! I also recommend you to come at sunset. The orange sunset is super gentle. The lights on both sides of the shrine will light up at night, which is very beautiful. You can enjoy the charming night view of the city from the observation deck! Address: 1 Mii-cho, Kurume City #trip #relax #nightview #couple #Japan #JapaneseAttractions #JapanTravel #Fukuoka
