4.1 (314)

3267 Kitanomachinaka, Kurume, Fukuoka 830-1113, Japan

Kitano Tenmangu Shrine was constructed in 1054. The shrine was founded when Archbishop Teisen (grandson of the chief advisor to the Emporer at that time, Fujiwara no Michitaka) dedicated a portion of the tutelary deity from the Kitano Tenmangu Shrine in Kyoto (Sugawara no Michizane) to this area. A flower that is related with Michizane is the plum blossom.

The quiet shrine has a huge camphor tree that has lasted for thousands of years. Next to the main hall are two grebes, one gold and one silver. I found an explanation on the Internet. It is said that Sugawara Michizane was an upright person and did not lie, so this bird symbolized lies. Every year at 18:00 on January 7th, a "Satari" event is held in Tenmangu Shrine. Participants pay 1,000 Hatsuho in advance. Afterwards, you will get a wooden monkey, and then when the activity starts, you must say "for えましょ, 台えましょ" in your mouth, and then exchange the wooden monkey on your hand with the person next to you, which means turning the lies of the past year into truth. , get rid of the bad things and pray for happiness and success in the new year.

I visited the shrine for the first time. It's a very impressive shrine, with a magnificent tower gate leading from the approach, a large main shrine, and a camphor tree on the side that gave me the feeling of a power spot. There was a torii gate on the city road that extended straight from the approach, which gave an indication of the size of the shrine.

I came across this place while exploring the Kitano area and stopped by. It was a quite impressive building, but it had a calm atmosphere. You can also receive a stamp.
