Tenjin Area

Tenjin is the number one downtown area in Kyushu. Buildings housing stores of fashionable brands line the streets and old department stores, drug stores, and mass home appliance retailers stand side by side. However, if you even slightly change your point of view on a walk through Tenjin, you will notice many places that give you a glimpse of Fukuoka's history, parks where people can take a break, and other surprising sights that will make you think, “Is this really Tenjin?!”

Suikyo Tenmangu Shrine

Suikyo Tenmangu Shrine

The name of Tenjin, the largest commercial district in Kyushu, derives from the name of god enshrined in this shrine.
It is the soul of Sugawara Michizane that is enshrined at Suikyo Tenmangu Shrine. At this shrine quietly nestled among the office buildings, the soul of Michizane has long been worshipped as the god of study.
Suikyo literally means water mirror. This name of the temple is said to have come from the story that Michizane looked down on the water surface to see his weary-looking face when he was demoted and transferred to Dazaifu.
The shrine was originally located in Imaizumi area and later moved to the present site by Kuroda Nagamasa, the first lord of Fukuoka Clan, as a guardian shrine to protect the east side of his castle.

Kego Shrine

Kego Shrine

Kego Shrine sits in the middle of Tenjin. Since ancient times, worshippers have prayed to the god of protection from misfortune enshrined here to drive away diseases and disasters. Some popular "hidden" spots are the stone statue of the "laughing fox," which is rarely seen in Japan and believed to bring you success in business by rubbing it, the foot bath that is easily accessible on the way to shopping, and the sacred water with a faucet in the shape of a dragon. Along with Kego Park, both places are loved by local residents as a place to relax.
