Behind Miyajidake Shrine - Mt. Miyaji

Miyajidake jinja is one of Fukuoka’s most well-known shrines. I took a walk behind the shrine and up Mt. Miyaji (just a hill really). There’s a longer, more scenic course that will do when it gets cooler. The shrine is a great place to see if you're ever in Fukuoka.

There are a lot of parking spots but I would avoid the first week of the year to avoid the crowds.
NOTES
Google maps names this mountain “Miyajiyama” and YAMAP names it “Miyajisan”.

Have you ever visited this shrine? Did you go around the back?

[@rockeastwood]

I always find hidden treasures behind shirine / temples. Sometimes old graves and sometimes trials connecting other locations the monks used to walk on. Good find here. That is one of the biggest shimenawa I ever seen!

[@KyushuTrail]

Yeah that shimenawa is a beauty. There’s a longer, more scenic course that I’ll do another time. Thanks for watching!

[@Come2Japan]

This is one of my favorite places in Fukuoka! Love this temple and the ponds near the back! great vid super helpful! I subbed!

Absolutely in love with this! If there is one thing I remember from japan whenever I leave, it will be cicadas in summer.

[@KyushuTrail]

Thanks! Yeah some people hate the sound but I really like it!

Looks like a nice little hike. You should definitely come up to Nagano, and hit some big ones. =D
