Located in central Fukuoka in the corner of the Kawabata shopping district, Kushida Shrine is the shrine dedicated to the Hakata Gion Yamakasa, a festival taking place in July. On the premises is an exotic and gorgeous decorated mountain. From the well designed as a crane holy water from underneath the shrine flows out and is said to prevent aging while promoting long life. Have a sip. You’ll be surprised by its saltiness, almost harsh in its metallic aftertaste. You can buy a fortune card here in English, Korean, Mandarin, and Cantonese. Give it a shot!
