Shrine

A Shinto shrine located in Chuo Ward, Fukuoka City. The shrine is dedicated to all those connected to Fukuoka Prefecture who have sacrificed themselves for the country in battle from the Meiji restoration to the Pacific War. The shrine prays for the continued peace of the Japanese nation and is said to grant worshippers peace and prosperity in the household as well as traffic safety. Facing the Ohori Park and Fukuoka Castle Ruins, the shrine's raw timber torii gate, standing at the head of the approach on the park side, is 13 meters tall and its pillars are 160 centimeters in diameter, making it the biggest of its kind in Japan.
