Kashii-gu Shrine in Higashi-ku, Fukuoka City, is one of the sixteen imperial shrines in Japan, and it enshrines a married couple deity. The precincts are sacred grounds where traces of mythology remain in various places, and various festivals are held throughout the year.
In the fall, maple trees and ginkgo trees are beautifully colored, and the best time to see the autumn leaves is usually around mid-November. In particular, the leaves of the quince trees on both sides of the main hall are red, and the fruits turn yellow, which is very beautiful.
In addition, the approach to the Sessha Takeuchi Shrine on the left side of the main hall is also colored with autumn leaves of maple and ginkgo trees, creating a fantastic atmosphere.
Why not take this opportunity to visit the autumn leaves at Kashii-gu Shrine and enjoy the spectacular scenery that shines in the sacred grounds of mythology?
