Miyajidake Shrine - 1,700 Years of History

#Fukuoka Attractions The Miyajidake Shrine in Fukuoka Prefecture has a history of 1,700 years. It is one of the three major shrines in Fukuoka, along with Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine and Hakozakigu Shrine. Recently, the quaint shrine is filled with Tanabata decorations, and the cute wind chimes and lights add to the romantic atmosphere. Friends who visit Fukuoka from July to early August are recommended to come to Miyajidake Shrine to experience the local Tanabata Festival. When you climb the stairs of the shrine to the top floor and look back, you can see the amazing view of Miyajidake Shrine: the Path of Light. The shrine extends straight along the road to the ocean in the distance, and you can even see the cat island of Aijima at the end, which is breathtaking. When you arrive at the shrine, you will be immediately attracted by the huge rope. It is 2.6 meters in diameter, 11 meters long, and weighs 3 tons. It is the largest rope in Japan.
