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.
Beautiful and peaceful shrine here in Fukuoka, it absolutely deserves a visit! I was really impressed to see the thing(sorry I don't know the specific name) that they carry during the festival.
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
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.
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!
