Kōra Taisha, Shinto shrine on Mount Kōra in Kurume, Japan

Kōra Taisha is a Shintō shrine on Mount Kōra in Kurume, Fukuoka Prefecture, the ichinomiya of Chikugo Province. Its present honden, heiden and haiden, built in 1660–1661, are Important Cultural Properties. The honden follows the ishi-no-ma-zukuri style, with a dark thatched roof over a vermilion facade, a white curtain with purple crests, and two stone lion statues flanking a wooden offering box.

Tradition dates the shrine's founding to the reign of Emperor Richū, and it appears in the Engishiki as Kōra Tamatare no Mikoto Shrine, a Myōjin Taisha and Ichinomiya of Chikugo. The present honden was donated by Arima Yoritoshi, third daimyō of Kurume Domain, in 1660, with the heiden and haiden completed in 1661. In 1871 it was ranked a Kokuhei Chūsha under the name Kōra Jinja, and in 1915 it was raised to Kokuhei Taisha.

The mountain was called Takamure before the characters for Kōra were applied to it; the original deity Takagi no kami was moved to Takagi Shrine near the second torii at the foot. The shrine's messenger is the crow, and its crest is the yokomokkō. Worshippers come for yakuyoke, longevity and traffic safety, and performers honour it as a god of the arts.

The approach follows the sando from the second torii, where the shrine road leaves Fukuoka Prefectural Route 750; the main route is the Motosaka climb, while the older Desakasaka stone steps descend from the torii below the shrine. A temporary bus lane runs beside the upper path near the third torii. The stone stairway is uneven, so wear firm footwear.

The bamboo forest on the grounds displays rare yellow Moso Kinmei Chikurin stems, designated a natural monument in 1974. This yellow coloring sets the grove apart from the green stands in the surrounding area and creates a contrast within the woodland.
