櫛田神社

景點人氣榜第5名

現代的福岡是依賴海岸線的港口發展起來的九州最大都市，不過更早之前，博多運河兩岸才是這一地區的中心。 以櫛田神社為中心的博多最古老的上端商業街與周圍聚集的歷史博物館匯聚在此就不足為奇了。 櫛田神社是在日本古代最後一個平安時代建成的博多總守護神廟，後來豐臣秀吉復興博多是把它再次發揚光大。 信仰神道教的福岡市民將櫛田神社視為重要的參拜神社。 櫛田在每年7月，會迎來九州最盛大的博多祗園山笠祭典。很多遊客會慕名來此參觀祭典活動中最為精彩的一個場景：“追山笠”。7支不同流派的各26名上身著號衣、下系兜襠布的精壯男子組成團隊，肩扛神話傳說人物和古代武士人偶、樓閣花草等裝飾成的華麗山笠，在人群的簇擁下，齊聲高喊號子，依次進入櫛田神社繞場一週，然後上街展開一場速度與力量的競逐。 這巨大的山笠，展示在櫛田神社社內，沒有趕上祭典，也可以欣賞一下精美的構造。

This shrine was recommended to us by the tourist information advisor. We are so appreciative of her tips. We were wide eyed with wonder the moment we arrived there, our attention captured by the 10 meters tall giant float decorated with interesting traditional figures and scenes. At least one hour is needed to explore the grounds and examine the many fascinating items of interest which includes a well surrounded by three cranes - there is a legend that water of this well grants longevity and eternal youth. #GiveThanks
