About this Shrine

Enbie-susa, a historic Shinto shrine in Fukuoka, is dedicated to the god of good fortune and longevity, Ebisu. Located near the coast, the shrine's architecture reflects its proximity to the sea, with tiled roofs and wooden pillars characteristic of traditional Japanese buildings. Visitors can admire the tranquil gardens and enjoy the annual Ebisu Matsuri festival, which features parades, music, and traditional food stalls.

Cultural Significance

As one of the oldest shrines in Fukuoka, Enbie-susa is home to the famous 'Tsuki-yama' ('Moon Hill'), said to be a sacred site where Ebisu is believed to reside. During the annual festival, visitors can pray for good luck and prosperity by tossing coins onto the shrine's grounds.
