Itinerary

  1. We will visit on the roof of Hakata station a viewpoint of the town with lovely park (15 min)
  2. Imagine stepping into a place where serenity washes over you. Picture strolling past 500 unique statues, each with its own story. Then, feel a sense of awe as you stand beneath the immense Reclining Buddha. Experience the power of the ancient Fudo Myo-o... it's almost as if you can feel its energy. Let me guide you through this sacred space, sharing the stories of Nanzoin and uncovering its hidden gems. You'll leave with unforgettable memories and stunning photos (1h 30min)
  3. Step inside the main hall and be greeted by Fukuoka's crown jewel: a massive wooden Buddha statue, one of the largest in all of Japan. Seated serenely in meditation, its expression radiates peace, and the intricate carvings whisper of centuries past. The whole scene creates a feeling of timeless tranquility that washes over you. (15 min)
  4. Feel the energy of Hakata pulse through you at the vibrant Kushida Jinja! Let yourself be amazed by the towering Yamakasa floats, watch locals pay their respects, and maybe even draw your own fortune. I'll guide you through the traditions, share the stories behind this beloved shrine, and help you experience it like a true insider (15 min)
  5. At Sumiyoshi Jinja, journey back in time to a sanctuary of ancient traditions hidden within bustling Hakata. Admire its unique architecture, wander quiet paths lined with lanterns, and feel the echoes of its legacy as a protector of seafarers. (15 min)
