What other travelers are saying about Kushida Shrine
Beautiful little shrine that also houses a gigantic float that they use for festivals. I have no idea how the guys that carry it are able to but good on them. I happened to catch a service going on by the priest for two young girls and it was very informative. The two lovely shrine maidens also were helpful with choosing charms to bring back to friends back in the States.
A very well maintained shrine in the old Hakata area. It has a few famous icons in there such as the Gingko tree and tall statue thing that worshippers actually carry around during their festivals.
Walked there this morning early so very peaceful and pretty. For ¥100 you can get a fortune on 5 different languages which is cool. People use a fountain to cleanse themselves and that was interesting. When people went up and prayed they clapped as they finished and I never saw this before. Nice for a quick visit
The shrine was nice and quiet even it was located quite close to the metro station. The gigantic statue and the historic decorations were quite good to watch. We arrived at the early morning like 9am and there was no crowds.
This is one of my favourite shrine in Fukuoka. Beautiful and nice to see. It’s in middle of central area of Fukuoka(Hakata). Near all the restaurants and commercial streets. Highly recommended!
