Dedicated to Inari, the wild fox kami, it is the third largest of its kind in Japan. It was constructed in 1688 as the family shrine of the Nabeshima clan who ruled what would become the Saga area (called Hizen at that time) during the Edo period. [Reference]
Getting there :
- From Hakata Station, go to JR Hizen-Kashima Station (肥前鹿島駅 Hizenkashima-eki). This station has very nice restroom area as well.
- Exit and cross the road for the Kashima Bus Center, (don’t worry, there are signs upon exit).
- You'll be welcomed by an old man trying to give you RT tickets for 320 jpy each, take this as IC cards are not accepted by this bus line. There is also Information Center, if you have doubts.
