You may be familiar with the famous Fushimi Inari Shrine in Kyoto, but have you heard of Yutoku Inari Shrine in Kyushu?

Fushimi Inari Shrine 
Located in Kashima City in Saga Prefecture, this impressive vermillion- lacquered complex is recognised as one of Japan’s 3 greatest Inari shrines alongside Fushimi Inari Shrine in Kyoto and Kasama Inari Shrine in Ibaraki Prefecture, attracting over 3 million annual visitors in seeking blessings for thriving businesses, family happiness and safe journeys.

When you follow the red torii gates near the main shrine leading up to the inner sanctuary, you’ll be rewarded with stunning views of the city and the Ariake Sea. 

While you’re there, check out the on-site museum, which showcases treasures of the shrine as well as artifacts of weaponry, armoury and many works of arts of the Kashima Domain.
