    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。

It is around a 16-minute walk from JR Yoshizuka Station.

    工場見学が楽しい。めんたい作りも体験できるようで、たくさん人が参加してました。レストランの定食は観光地価格で高いです。しかもご飯は炊いてから時間が立っているようで、めちゃくちゃ固かった。

    高野山真言宗のお寺で筥崎宮の社坊です。九州二十四地蔵霊場の二十一番札所にもなっています。お寺の入り口の参道を見た感じは結構新しい感じだったのですが、中は静かで、立派な燈籠堂や菩提樹があり、歴史を感じました。

    一般は、200円の入場料。学生や大学関係者は、無料です。今回は、展示内容に興味があったので行ってきましたが、パブロピカソの絵が展示されているとは、さすが九産大の中の美術館だなと思いました。平日だともっと学生たちもいて、学校の雰囲気もつかみやすいかもしれません。

    公園内にひっそりとあります。ミニゴーカートとかの上、二階にあり、普段はかぎが掛かっています。自販機でチケットを買ったら、一階の係員さんに見せると、上の鍵を開けてくれます。帰るときはまた声を掛けます。というわけで、お客は私たちだけでした。展示されている車は、旧車ばかりです。日本車以外もありました。主人が旧車好きなので行きましたが、そうでなければつまらないかもしれません。

    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...
