福岡市の普通の神社
Shrines in Japan are integrated into the lives of Japanese people.
Many Japanese people don’t have strong beliefs therefore they usually don’t have much interest in the shrines. The general perception of a shrine for them is that it’s a place to visit in the New Year or when making a wish in accordance with the growth of a child.
The God of shrines, whom was born with the birth of Japan, accepts anyone who visits with a heart of respect.
Here is a list of shrines in Fukuoka that have been cherished by local people for a long time.

藤崎 猿田彦神社
Some houses in Fukuoka have a monkey mask at the entrance for a decoration. It’s for a charm against evil spirits because Saru is translated as a monkey in Japanese and “leave” in Japanese is also pronounced as Saru and it has been told it’s a charm that makes all the bad things “leave” from the house.
This monkey mask is handmade one by one by craftsmen who makes Hakata dolls, a traditional craft of Fukuoka, as a gift (a charm given by God) from Sarutahiko Shrine.
姪浜 住吉神社
