[Fukuoka Shrine] A lovely shrine located at the back of an alley

Marishi Shrine 1-6-16 Togo, Munakata City, Fukuoka Prefecture 0940-36-5064 This is a shrine I stopped by on a trip to Fukuoka. According to an ancient legend, it was founded in the fifth year of the Shucho era, when Akie, the Munakata lord at the time, worshipped Ame-no-Minakanushi-no-Okami, the god of heaven and earth creation, and Katsuragi Ichinotoshi-no-Okami, who had been worshipped since the Middle Ages, in Tonogo, the center of the county, and it was said that it began to be called Marishi Shrine, as it was considered to be the god of victory and bravery (Marishiten). Marishi-no-Okami is the god of victory who competes and overcomes disasters. Marishi means heat haze majesty. As a god of heaven, he has the power of supernatural powers, and nothing can defeat him. If you believe in this god, you will have the same power as this god. He is said to be the god of victory in competitions, elections, exam success, and eradication of disease. #Spring0yenTrip #FukuokaTrip #FukuokaShrine #FukuokaTourism #Munakata #MarishiShrine
