Tie in your visit with some of Kurume’s other highlights including its many notable temples and shrines such as Suitengu Shrine, Bairinji Temple and Daihonzan Naritasan Kurume Temple. *

Kurume is one of Japan’s top sake producing regions, and also has the highest number of yakitori shops per capita in Japan – so you can be sure you’ll eat and drink well during your trip! Learn more: https://bit.ly/3muI8Ml
