Kōra taisha, Shinto shrine on Mount Kōra in Kurume, Japan
The shrine buildings display the Ishi-no-ma-zukuri architectural style with wooden structures positioned along stone foundation platforms beneath tall trees.
The shrine complex received its current structures in 1660 through donations from Arima Yoritoshi, the third daimyo of Kurume Domain.
The annual festival on October 9 draws numerous participants who come to honor the enshrined deities Kōra Tamatare no mikoto, Hachiman, and Sumiyoshi.
Visitors can reach the shrine through a 50-minute walk from Kurume-Daigakumae Station on the JR Kyushu Kyūdai Main Line.
The shrine grounds contain a protected bamboo forest with yellow Moso Kinmei Chikurin stems, designated as a natural monument in 1974.
