Day 4: Kushida Shrine - Fukuoka, Japan

I always tire myself during the first few days on vacation.  It's the 4th day in Fukuoka and I had been going to many different places the days before.  So, we decided to just stay in the city.  Finally, we decided to check out some temples~  I mean, it wouldn't be a Japan trip without visiting some of their temples for a "we-were-here-pic", right?

A walking distance from Nakasukawabata Station, it's the Kushida Shrine!  We walked through the Kawabata Shopping Arcade to get here.  It was supposed to be a few minutes walk but turned out to be an hour because we couldn't stop shopping along the way.  Lots of little souvenir and food shops.

A very small shrines compared to the ones in Kyoto, but it's nice to just take a quick photo and ask the gods for some good luck.  According to Cho, her wish of getting more business at work came true after praying to the god of this shrine.  I am not much of a believer.  I was just there for the pictures.

Lots of charms to buy.  Cho got some.  I always lose these little things.  So, I didn't bother wasting money on it.
