Yūtoku Inari Shrine (1) 🌟

Tired of the Crowds at Fushimi Inari? Head to Sagan's Yūtoku Inari Shrine 🌿 Trip Stop 1️⃣: Yūtoku Inari Shrine (0125) 📍 Location: Saga, Kyushu, Kashima City ✨ One of Japan's Three Great Inari Shrines (on par with Fushimi Inari Shrine and Ibaraki's Kasama Inari Shrine) ✨ Top 2 pilgrimage sites in Kyushu (second only to Dazaifu Tenmangu) 🌿Fans of "Sagayado" (SAGA IS MY HERO!!), take note! Pass through the two giant vermilion lanterns to enter this sacred pilgrimage site. 🌈 When we arrived at 5 p.m., the shops along the street were closing up one by one. The twilight gave the place a relaxed and serene atmosphere. 🌇 1️⃣ Purification 🌿The hand-washing pavilion has a trilingual guide (Chinese, English, Thai)—highly recommended! You can easily learn the purification ritual. ✅ 2️⃣ Enter the Shrine 🌿On either side of the red shrine gate are "Arita-yaki" ceramic guardian deities. Ceramic statues are quite rare! 🏛️ #Japan 🌿
