[Fukuoka Shrine] A wonderful shrine where you can enjoy peach blossoms

🍑🌸Taga Shrine🌸🍑 701 Nogata, Nogata City, Fukuoka Prefecture 0942-22-0125 I stopped by Taga Shrine on a trip to Fukuoka! The date of the founding of Taga Shrine is a mystery, but according to the ancient legends stored at the shrine, it is an old shrine that dates back to the time of Izanagi-no-Okami and Izanami-no-Okami, who are written about in the Kojiki. It is famous as a god of longevity, and a god of calming the soul and warding off evil, and enshrines two gods, Izanami-no-Okami (male god) and Izanami-no-Okami (female god). These husband and wife gods are the parents of Amaterasu-Omikami, who created the land, mountains, rivers, plants, and trees of Japan and gave birth to the eight million gods. Apparently 4/11, 12 and 13 are peach festivals Especially on the weekends, there are peach sweets and rice cakes to ward off evil 🍑 It's a little early, but I went to see the flower water fountain 🎀 I love purple, so I was excited because it was so pretty! There were lots of peach blossoms in bloom ♡ I hope I can go again 🙏 #FukuokaShrine #Fukuoka #Shrine #FlowerWaterFukuokaFlowerWaterFukuoka #FlowerWaterFloorTour #TagaShrine #PeachBlossoms #Peaches #FukuokaSightseeing #FukuokaTrip #Spring0YenTrip
