Kushida Shrine, Shinto shrine in Hakata-ku, Japan.
The shrine compound features traditional wooden buildings, including a central hall, prayer buildings, and stone lanterns along the pathways.
Founded in 757 during Emperor Koken's reign, Kushida Shrine underwent reconstruction in 1587 under the direction of Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
The shrine hosts the annual Hakata Gion Yamakasa festival in July, where teams race through streets carrying one-ton decorative floats.
Located at 1-41 Kamikawabata-machi, the shrine welcomes visitors daily and stands within an 8-minute walk from Nakasu-kawabata subway station.
The Reisen Tsuru well within the shrine grounds contains water that local traditions associate with longevity and youthfulness.
