福岡市西区姪の浜3丁目5−5
Located in Tetsuhama, Nishi Ward, Fukuoka City, this shrine enshrines the Sumiyoshi Three Deities, Empress Jingū, and Takeda Sukune. It is also known as a shrine for good luck due to the story of the priest rebuilding the large torii gate using prize money from a quiz show.

The Three Sumiyoshi Deities
History
The shrine's history began in 743 CE (Tenpyō 15) with the appearance of the Sumiyoshi Myōjin. In 1416 CE (Ōei 23), during the Muromachi period, a new main hall was built and a ritual of transferring the deities (sensen) was performed. Subsequently, the Sumiyoshi Three Deities came to be revered as local guardian deities (uchijin kamisama) alongside the Ushitora Shrine.

What visitors say
Located in a quiet residential area within walking distance of Tetsuhama Station, the shrine grounds are well-maintained. Highlights include a sacred ginkgo tree (goshinboku) that is 700 years old, stone statues of kappa, and face-insertion panels. Goshuin (calligraphic seal stamps) are handwritten at the reception desk, and lucky beans (fukumame) are sometimes placed in front of the main hall.
