[Fukuoka Shrine] A shrine located right next to the river where you can hear the babbling of the river

"Kawamori Shrine" 3-1-1 Yoshida Higashi, Mizumaki-cho, Onga-gun, Fukuoka Open 24 hours a day Open all year round The deities enshrined at Kawamori Shrine are Oyamatsumi-no-kami (the mountain god), Mizo-no-kami (the agricultural water god), and Okitama-no-kami (the land god). Later, the shrine also enshrined the sixth lord of Fukuoka, Tsugutaka, who was a benefactor of the Horikawa River excavation project. In 1750, the year before the second phase of Horikawa River construction began, the Kojin Shrine was located at the planned construction site, but it was temporarily moved to the mountain next to it and enshrined there. In 1760, a new stone-chambered shrine was built by the domain on top of the current Okuishidan within the temple grounds, and this was called Kawamori Daimyojin, and the three deities (Oyamatsumi-no-kami, Mizo-no-kami, and Okitama-no-kami) were moved here and enshrined there. The shrine is run by the heads of sixteen villages. #Kitakyushu Tourism #Fukuoka Tourism #Onga District Shrine #Fukuoka Shrine #Kitakyushu Shrine #Kyushu Tourism
