    Fukuoka Pref. Fukuokashihigashiku Hakozaki 1-22-1
    Also known as “Hakozaki Hachiman-gu Shrine,” alongside Usa Hachiman-gu Shrine and Iwashimizu Hachiman-gu Shrine this is one of the three great Hachiman-gu Shrines of Japan. Emperor Ojin is the main enshrined deity, along with Empress Jingu and Tamayori-hime. In Nishioku there is the “Ajisai Garden” and “Shinen Flower Park,” with spring being the best time to see peonies, and the early summer best for hydrangeas. The “Tamaseseri Festival” that takes place each January 3 is a famous festival in which there are two wooden balls that represent yin and yang and bring good fortune and the contestants vie over the “yang” ball.

    Hakozakigu is truly a beautiful shrine. The shrine-complex includes several buildings and the shrine-ground is vast. I can imagine that it would also be a very peaceful place on a normal day if not...

    志賀島にある神社です。特徴的なところは、通常の手水ではなく、砂でお清めをするところですね。渡船の桟橋から歩いていけます。

    Fukuoka Fukuoka-shi Higashi-ku Najima 1-chome 26-1

    名島弁財天で参拝後は隣にある名島神社へ。名島神社は神仏習合の時代には「名島弁財天社」と呼ばれており、神仏分離によって祀られていた弁財天は宗栄寺に移され現在の「名島神社」となった経緯がある。現在の宗栄寺と名島神社は元は一つであったという事で、名島弁財天からは隣なので距離は近いもの。名島神社の鳥居をくぐって境内へ。 名島神社では昔の名残からだろうか、60日に一度巡ってくる己巳の日には「己巳祭」が行わ...
