[2025 Fukutsu Attraction] Travel Guide for Miyajidake Shrine (Updated Jul)

If you happen to visit Fukuoka in February or October, don't miss this natural gift from God. At Miyajidake Shrine in Fukutsu, the sun sets on the avenue that connects the shrine to the sea only at these two times of the year. The golden afterglow of the light channel is as charming as being in heaven. When the uncle visited, he had missed the most beautiful date and it was cloudy, but the shock of looking down from the shrine is still fresh in his memory. Miyajidake Shrine enshrines Empress Jingu, also known as Empress Jingu, and believers come here to pray for good fortune and prosperity. It is also one of the three major shrines in Fukuoka, as famous as Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine. Here you can also find the largest Shimenawa in Japan, with a diameter of 2.6 meters and a length of 11 meters. It was made by thousands of believers working together. 📍Address: 〒811-3309 7-1 Miyajimoto-machi, Fukutsu City, Fukuoka Prefecture #Good Places to Go in January 2025

#December Travel Support Event Miyajihama, a small city near Fukuoka where you can really feel the Japanese sensibility🇯🇵 It's a small city that can be reached in an hour from Fukuoka. In fact, there's so much information about traveling to Japan that I didn't want to go to places that many people go to. Then I discovered the town of Miyajihama! It's a small city that I recommend as a day trip to those who have been to Japan many times because it's a place where you can see the sunset of your life😍 In particular, Miyajihama Beach and Miyajidake Shrine are must-see courses! You can get there by taking a train for about an hour from Fukuoka Hakata Station. ✔️Miyajidake Shrine is crowded with people at sunset, so if you want to see a beautiful sunset, I recommend going a little before sunset and finding a spot. 📍Miyajihama 宮司浜 / Miyajihama Beach / Miyajidake Shrine 宮地嶽神社 #Fukuoka #FukuokaTravel #Japan #JapanTravel #PlacesToVisitInJapan #JapanTravelRecommendations #PlacesToVisitInFukuoka #MiyajidakeShrine #JapaneseSmallCityTravel

A person who loves Fukuoka!! Even though I traveled for a short 1 night 2 days~2 nights 3 days This is my first time here!! If you climb up to Miyajidake Shrine and look at the cool breeze and the clear sea in the distance~ It's such a healing place! If you want to go somewhere new, not too far from Fukuoka, I recommend it :) The recommended route is to see the shrine and come down, and walk for about 25 minutes to Miyajihama Beach, which is shown in the photo. I recommend walking down, seeing the sea, and going back! The torai in front of the sea is really photogenic😉

#WesternJapan Miyajidake Shrine in Fukutsu City, Fukuoka Prefecture ⛩ I went there for the Iris Festival. The irises were in full bloom in the shrine grounds, and the iris garden was magnificent. The owls are always soothing. Japan's largest shimenawa rope is always big! This is my favorite shrine, and I'm always soothed by the seasonal flowers.

Miyajidake Shrine, where you can worship the "Road of Light" that became famous in a certain commercial, is the head shrine of Miyajidake Shrines nationwide. The chance to worship the "Road of Light" is only available for a few days in February and October. Because so many people visit, it has become a rare and spectacular view that can only be seen by getting a numbered ticket or receiving a prayer. Since the deity enshrined is a goddess, you can also enjoy various flowers throughout the four seasons at Miyajidake Shrine. I think it is one of the most representative shrines in Kyushu, visited by 2.2 million people a year as the god of good fortune and prosperity in business. 25 minutes on foot or 5 minutes by taxi from JR Fukuma Station Information as of June 2022. #Breathtaking view #Historical historic site #Fukuoka Prefecture #Shrine and temple tour #Fukuoka #Quintessa campaign

#summervacay Located in Fukuoka Prefecture, Miyajidake Shrine is known not just for its spiritual presence, but for a breathtaking sight that happens only twice a year the “Path of Light”. As the sun sets, it aligns perfectly with the long road leading from the shrine gate all the way to the sea, casting a golden glow straight through the heart of the shrine. Even without the sun event, the shrine is serene. It houses Japan’s largest shimenawa (sacred rope) and invites quiet reflection among its ancient trees and wooden halls. Whether you're drawn by the rare sunset alignment or the peaceful atmosphere, Miyajidake offers a powerful moment of stillness and beauty.

Miyajidake Shrine in Kyushu is home to the largest sacred rope (shimenawa) in Kyushu. The largest in Japan can be found at Izumo Taisha. This shrine hosts numerous festivals throughout the year, such as the Festival of Light and Sound and the Tanabata Festival. The shrine is truly stunning and majestic. Another unique way to experience Miyajidake Shrine is through its "Path of Light." The best times to capture photos of this phenomenon are in February and October each year.

When my visits to Fukuoka exceeded ten times, I discovered the tranquil Miyajidake Shrine in a quiet town! Although it takes about an hour and a half from Fukuoka, it's a place you can easily visit using public transportation. The path leading from the beach to Miyajidake Shrine is quite famous, and if you time your visit right, you can witness sunlight streaming in a straight line along the path! While the stairs leading up to the shrine are numerous and challenging, the breathtaking view from the top makes it all worthwhile. When I visited, there happened to be a wind chime festival, and I could hear the delightful sounds of hundreds of wind chimes swaying in the breeze. :) 📍Miyajidake Shrine, Fukutsu City

#VisitFukuoka ⛩️ : Miyajidake Shrine VisitFukuoka, Japan 📝 : I really like this shrine. This shrine is spacious and even though there are many people, it feels spacious. There is a hiking trail of about 2 km, but along the way there is another deity on the top of the mountain, which is about 600 m above the ground. It is about 25 to 30 minutes away from the main path of the shrine. From the shrine, you can also walk straight to the ocean. It takes about 20 minutes to walk. 📍Address: 7-1 Miyaji Motomachi, Fukutsu, Fukuoka 811-3309, Japan

If you come to Fukuoka, I recommend Fukuma, which you can get to by taking the JR from Hakata Station! In the summer, you can enjoy barbecue and surfing at the sea, so many locals visit there, and there is also Miyajidake, which is beautiful when the sunset sets, so it is a place where you can have a fun day! #Travel plan #Japan travel

I went to Miyajidake Shrine, famous for its approach to the shrine, known as the Path of Light, which leads straight from the torii gate to the sea. It is especially popular twice a year, on limited days in late February and late October, when the path is lit up by the bright red sun and sinks into the sea. I visited on a normal day, but there were many people there. The large shimenawa rope, which is the shrine's symbol, is a must-see! It takes about an hour to walk around at a leisurely pace. There are many long stairs, so I recommend sneakers or other comfortable shoes! ୨୧――――――――――――――――――୨୧ information📍 Facility name📍Miyajidake Shrine Address📍7-1 Miyajimotomachi, Fukutsu City, Fukuoka Prefecture Access📍About 5 minutes by taxi from JR Fukuma Station ୨୧――――――――――――――――――୨୧ #Enjoy Japan #Fukuoka #Domestic travel #Tourism #Miyajidake Shrine #Japan

Speaking of shrines in Fukuoka, there is one place that I put on my bucket list early on! That is——Miyajidake Shrine "The Path of Light"🌄 Although it’s not in the city of Fukuoka, this is the filming location for Arashi’s commercials! I want to make a pilgrimage no matter what❤️🔥 Every year around February and October, the setting sun will fall along the long approach to the temple, forming a golden "Path of Light"~ It was April when I went. Although it is not the best time, watching the sunset is still very romantic🌅 I simply walked around because it was getting dark, the atmosphere was very quiet and peaceful~ There are eight small shrines at the deepest part, so you can come early to take a look! Although the scenery is beautiful, there are really a lot of mosquitoes! Wear long sleeves or spray mosquito repellent, otherwise you might scratch while taking photos😂 And the stairs are a bit long, it takes a little bit of strength💪 🚃 We departed from downtown Fukuoka, and it was actually quite convenient for us to schedule a trip to Mojiko Port on that day~ Take the JR Kagoshima Main Line Rapid 👉 Get off at "Fukuma Station" and you will see the bus stop right after exiting the station🚌🚎 👉 Take bus No. 5 (towards Tsuyasaki Bridge) or No. 1-2 (towards JR Togo Station) 👉 Get off at "Miyajidake Jinja-mae" After getting off the bus, you can prepare to start climbing the stairs🤣⛩️ 🕰️Business hours: 7:00~19:00 📍Address: 7-1 Miyajimoto-machi, Fukutsu City, Fukuoka Prefecture #AprilGoodDestinations2025

#FukuokaItinerary Address of Miyajigoku Shrine: 7-1 Miyaji Motomachi, Fukutsu City, Fukuoka Prefecture Transportation: Take the Kagoshima Main Line from Hakata Station to the West Exit of Fukuma Station, then take bus No. 1-1 and get off at Miyajidake Jinja-mae. —————————————— The village bus runs for an hour, so I chose to walk. (When traveling in the countryside of Kyushu, you basically have to wait a long time for the bus. If I can walk, I will just walk there. It only takes more than an hour to walk 4-6 kilometers. I have summed up the experience). —————————————— For people like me who love taking photos of city street scenes, I am ecstatic that there is no one on the streets in the countryside and I don’t have to worry about taking photos of others. —————————————— But the downside is that it’s hard to find places to eat in the countryside, so most of the time I eat at shops around tourist attractions or stations. —————————————— Finally we arrived at Miyajihama Beach, but it was noon and the sun was super hot, so I just walked to the beach with an umbrella, took a few photos and left. Because this beach is just average, nothing special... I checked for you. If you don't want to leave, you can take the bus directly after visiting the Miyajido Shrine. #Fukuoka #Kyushu #JapanTravel #StreetShoot #Citywalk

One-Day Itinerary: A day trip around Fukuoka, from Hakata Station to Miyajidake Shrine, with a detour to Fukuma Beach before returning. On my second trip to Kyushu, I still found Fukuoka's hustle and bustle a bit overwhelming, but I unexpectedly discovered a hidden gem for a one-day trip around the area. A solid 4-star experience! 1. From Hakata Station to Fukuma Station: P13. Head to the JR platform at Hakata Station and take the Kagoshima Main Line. It’s a 30-minute ride to Fukuma Station, and the JR Pass is valid! 2. From Fukuma Station to Miyajidake Shrine: There’s a bus right at the bottom of the station escalator, or you can take a taxi. The bus ride takes about 10 minutes and runs once an hour. Grab a boarding ticket when you get on and pay when you get off. The road is very sunny with no shade, so walking (about 30 minutes) is not recommended. 3. Exploring the Shrine: From the shrine’s hilltop, you can see a straight road leading to the azure coastline, offering an incredible view. Inside the shrine, you can draw fortunes and buy souvenirs. The back hill features a small version of Kyoto’s Fushimi Inari Shrine’s famous thousand torii gates ⛩️. 4. Returning to Fukuma Station: There’s no bus from the restaurant area back to the station, so you’ll need to call a taxi. We strolled back to the station in about 30 minutes, but walking in the summer heat is not recommended—it’s scorching! 🔥 Summary: Overall, if you have a day to spare after shopping in Fukuoka, I highly recommend visiting this spot. Personally, I think it’s more worthwhile than some of the city’s attractions. It was the perfect way to wrap up my second trip to Kyushu. I’d give it 4 stars 🌟, on par with Sakurajima!

#cherryblossom25 Perched on a hill in Fukutsu City, this 1,400-year-old shrine is famed for its "Miracle Sunset" phenomenon (where the sun aligns perfectly with its tunnel-like approach twice a year)—but in spring, its 300+ cherry trees create an equally magical pink corridor leading to the sea. 🌸 Why It’s Unique ✔ Tunnel of Light & Petals– The 200m approach transforms into a blossom-covered path mirroring the shrine’s famous sunbeams ✔ Ocean Views – From the main hall, see sakura framing the Genkai Sea ✔ Rare Varieties – Includes the "Miyajidake Weeping Cherry", a local hybrid with extra-long branches

#GetDiscountsWithoutLuck Miyajidake Shrine Miyajidake Shrine Shinto Shrine Miyajidake Shrine is a Shinto shrine located in Fukutsu, Fukuoka. It has a history dating back 1,700 years. This Shinto shrine was built to honor Empress Jingu, the legendary empress of Japan.

At the break of dawn, we step into the Miyajidake Shrine in Fukuoka. The ancient trees create a dense forest, and the birds' chirping blends with the murmuring streams to form a haunting melody. The vermilion torii gate leads the way, and the stone steps are covered with moss. Along the path, the 'Hell Tour' inscriptions narrate eerie legends. The spring water in the pool is iron-blue like ink, and the air is filled with the scent of sulfur, making it feel like we are at the boundary between the divine and the underworld. In the afternoon, we head to the serene Nanzoin Temple in Kido. The ancient temple is as picturesque as a painting. The golden pavilion with its green tiles contrasts beautifully with the surrounding trees. The sound of the temple bell resonates, and the monks chant sutras softly amidst the swirling incense smoke, leading the heart into a state of tranquility. The dry landscape garden is full of Zen charm, with each sand and stone embodying Zen principles. In one day, we experience the solemnity of the mystical and the tranquility of the serene, making the trip to Fukuoka not just a sightseeing journey, but a pilgrimage for the soul.
