It's the go-to place after you visit the shrine nearby. The food was a little bit pricey but it was very delicious. I recommend the Oykodon set. It's grilled from charcoal. It tasted heavenly. The udon was high quality as well and they get you this soba tea which is also delicious. Not much parking 🅿️ so you have to park somewhere near. They also take cash only. No cards

Another great shrine. Many things to do here and this one is know for the growth and child development when pregnant. They have trees that are the size of a 4 story building so it was really cool to see. They also had a lot of shops set up. They did have parking but only about 20 spots that fill fast

The rock usuall...

When is the best time to visit Umi Hachimangu (Fukuoka, Japan)?

Late March to early April brings cherry blossoms that line the shrine paths with soft petals. Mid-April’s Koyasu Grand Festival features processions and dances; for a calmer visit with baby, plan before or after these festival days.
