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”.
