Today we will take a nice walk from Hakata Station in Fukuoka Prefecture to Chikuzen Sumiyoshi Shrine. The new year shrine visit is popular among many Japanese. This year we can see many Japanese praying for this coming new year in Japan, for their health, happiness, among other things.
Most years, the events would be much larger with many more delicious Japanese food stalls and people around. I hope you can enjoy this small look at a Japanese shrine visit for the new year.
Hakata Station is very lively and always busy as it is the most visited train station in all of Kyushu. Hakata Station is used by over 122,000 passengers daily! The Tokaido, Sanyo, and Kyushu Shinkansen (bullet train) stops here. Hakata station has over 40 restaurants to choose from and many stores including Hankyu Department Store, Amu Plaza mall, and Tokyu Hands department store. Make your way to the top of Hakata Station and you will see wonderful views of Fukuoka City as well!
Chikuzen Province Ichinomiya Sumiyoshi-Jinja Shrine was built around 1,800 years ago and was the chief Shinto shrines of Japan's Sumiyoshi-jinja shrines. In old Japanese texts, this shrine is referred to as "Japan's primary Sumiyoshi-miya Shrine" or "Sumiyoshi Main Shrine." It is said to be the first shrine among the 2,129 Sumiyoshi shrines nationwide.
The straight roof of the main hall of this shrine is a specific feature of ancient architectural style, in stark contrast to the later Buddhist style. The main hall is also designated as a national treasure and the copper ax and sword of the shrine are designated as important cultural properties of Fukuoka prefecture. The enshrined kami are Sokotsutsunoo no Mikoto (底筒男命), Nakatsutsunoo no Mikoto (中筒男命), and Uhatsutsunoo no Mikoto (表筒男命)).
