Kushida Shrine
1-41, Kamikawabatamachi, Hakata-ku
This shrine is the home of Yamakasa (decorated float) that is exhibited through out the country. The festivity is held on July, to to secure protection from a plague tha happened in mid-13th century.
This is one of those that have English prayers (paper luck), where you hang on the temple grounds.
While looking at the prayer blocks, I saw this one cute wish.
