Day goddess Tsukiyomi Shrine, dedicated to the sun and the god of heaven, is located in Fukuoka, Japan. Founded during the Nara period (710-794 CE), it was originally known as 'Tsukihime no Miyabishi,' but later changed its name to Dayyamachi-no-miya in 1868. The shrine's architecture reflects a mix of Heian and Kamakura styles, with a notable example being the Hozu-ryokan-style main hall.

参拝のヒント
To avoid heat exhaustion during summer visits, come early in the morning or late in the afternoon to beat the sun.
文化的背景
According to Shinto mythology, Tsukiyomi is the brother of Amaterasu and Izanagi. During his visit to the underworld, he retrieved a sword for Amaterasu from the sea god Susanoo. As a result, Tsukiyomi's name is associated with the sun and its power.
歴史
Tsukiyomi Shrine was restored after the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923.
