[2025 Fukuoka Attraction] Travel Guide for Kego Shrine (Updated May)

More than 400 years ago, there was a police station near the Korokan, which was responsible for the defense of Fukuoka. The earliest shrine was actually located in Fukuoka Castle, and successive feudal lords revered it very much. It was moved to Tenjin in the 17th century, and the main deities enshrined here are Yasomagatsu Hinodemi, Kannao Hinodemi, and Oonao Hinodemi. A prosperous commercial district was formed around it, and local people came to worship here to pray for prosperous business and to ward off disasters. More than four hundred years have passed, and now Kego Shrine has become an urban oasis in the Tenjin area. It is backed by Mitsukoshi Department Store, with Kego Park next to it and the Tenjin Egg Yolk District in front of it. It can be said to be the shrine with the most valuable land. It is now operated as a religious corporation. In 2022, a new 9-story building was built next to it, and Blue Bottle Coffee moved in, making Jinggu Shrine a popular destination for fashionable men and women. There are many early cherry trees planted in the area, making Kego Shrine a popular spot for cherry blossom viewing. In fact, because of its excellent location, people in Fukuoka like to hold traditional weddings here and receive God’s blessings during the ceremony. The newly built building is also a popular location for meetings and gatherings. During the Yuehua Festival in October every year, it will be combined with surrounding primary schools to allow children to learn history, wear ancient costumes to worship, take photos, and bless the children to grow up safely. There is another Imamasu Inari Shrine in the shrine, which enshrines Uga no Mikami, the god who blesses a good harvest. The most special thing is that there is a smiling fox here, which is rare in Japan. If you have the opportunity to visit the shrine, don't forget to look for the fox. 📍Address: 〒810-0001 Fukuoka Prefecture Fukuoka City Chuo District Tenjin 2-20 🚗Tenjin Subway Station, a five-minute walk away. #MarchGoodPlaces2025

#2024TravelReview In 2024, I had an unforgettable travel experience at Kego Shrine in Fukuoka. This shrine is located in the bustling city, but it has a peaceful atmosphere that makes people feel at peace. The moment I entered the shrine, I was attracted by the quaint buildings and the lush woods surrounding it. The torii gate of the shrine towers into the clouds, as if leading me into a mysterious world. Walking on the stone path, I could hear the rustling sound of the breeze blowing through the leaves, which made me feel the breath of nature. Inside the shrine, I participated in the traditional worship ceremony, silently reciting my hopes for the future. Afterwards, I picked up some lovely amulets in the shrine shop. These little items not only have beautiful meanings, but also became precious souvenirs of my trip. In addition, the small vendors around the shrine sold local delicacies such as skewers and desserts, allowing me to enjoy the culture while also tasting the deliciousness of Fukuoka. This experience at Kego Shrine not only allowed me to feel the profoundness of Japan's traditional culture, but also allowed me to find a moment of peace and relaxation in my busy life. I look forward to visiting here again in the future to relive these wonderful memories.

#Japan and Korea Springtime Destinations Kego Shrine in Fukuoka is one of the most popular cherry blossom viewing spots in the area. During the cherry blossom season from late March to early April each year, this urban oasis is like being in a dream garden wonderland. Kego Shrine covers a vast area, with thousands of cherry trees planted in the park, including Somei Yoshino cherry, weeping cherry, double cherry and other varieties. When they bloom almost at the same time, the entire shrine area is immersed in a sea of ​​pink and colorful flowers. All I saw was the scene of being surrounded by bright flower clouds, as if I had walked into an extremely romantic flower painting. Strolling along the cherry blossom paths in the park, you will see towering cherry blossom walls on both sides and a thick carpet of flowers under your feet. Occasionally, the gentle spring breeze will blow the cherry blossom petals into flying snow, creating a dreamlike and spectacular sight. There is also a large pond in the park, with pink and dreamy shadows reflected on the surface of the pond, making the overall scenery as dreamy and charming as a fairyland.

In 2024, I wish to go there again, to rekindle the connection with the quietude and find solace in the winter's embrace.
