Exploring Fukuoka Shrine, Momiji Hachimangu

It was a very nice small shrine. After passing through the large torii along the road, the stairs leading to the precincts were surrounded by greenery, giving a refreshing feeling. The fresh green maple leaves were really clean and beautiful under the sunlight. The hand-washing station used well water, and since it was hot, the cold water felt great. It's also drinkable, so if you get the chance, give it a try! Since the maple tree is a symbol of this place, you can also purchase beautiful maple leaf-shaped ema and goshuin. They also sell magnificent goshuucho and talismans. This shrine is a really good place to spend a relaxing time with nature. 📍Momiji Hachimangu 1-26-55 Takatori, Sawara-ku, Fukuoka 814-0011 Fukuoka Prefecture
