What travelers say:
A few days ago, I went to Fukuoka for three nights. Because it's near the hotel, I didn't expect much to go for a walk and visited the shrine. The quiet atmosphere was really good. ... I can feel the rest in the city.

Sumiyoshi Jinja Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
This shrine is dedicated to the gods of Sokotsutsuo-no-kami, Nakatsutsuo-no-kami and Uwatsutsuo-no-kami and it was officially designated in ancient time as one of the high ranked shrines. It was once admired as the greatest shrine of Chikuzen area (northern part of the present Fukuoka prefecture). The surrounding area was originally a cape at the mouth of Nakagawa River flowing into Hakata Bay. It was worshipped as a tutelary shrine of navigation. The gods were also worshipped as gods of Japanese poem (waka) and ancient famous poet Sogi visited this shrine to pay respect to the god. The straight shaped roof of the main hall of this shrine is one of the specific features of ancient architectural style, very contrastive to the later Buddhist style. The main hall is designated as a national treasure and the copper axe and sword of the shrine are designated as important cultural properties of the prefecture.

A few days ago, I went to Fukuoka for three nights. Because it's near the hotel, I didn't expect much to go for a walk and visited the shrine. The quiet atmosphere was really good. ... I can feel the rest in the city.
The Shrine has been admired by the people since ancient times as a patron of maritime security and safe travel. There are several small shrines in the shrine, where the Dragon Shrine, the god of commerce, entertainment and learning, is particularly popular.
As the birthplace of the Japanese shrine, the Fukuoka Prefecture has a long history and is well known. Because it is surrounded by the sea on three sides, the Sagiyama shrine is mostly dedicated to protecting the safety of ordinary fishermen. Of course, the gods in the shrine no longer only protect the safety of navigation, if you want to pray for blessings, you can also worship religiously.
Spontaneous trip to this old shrine! Before departure, wished to have a leisure but special exploration in Fukuoka. Looking into the tourist materials, this shrine is easily accessible from the Hakata Station and close to the fresh market. Do pay a visit to this elegant shrine!
Sumiyoshi Shrine is located in Hakata City, so it is accessible and close to Hakata Station and Canal City.
It was a wonderful shrine. It's a place that makes you want to go again when you go to Hakata
