Designated a natural monument of Fukuoka Prefecture, Kumano Jinja Shrine’s 300-year-old trees drape wisteria across 1,700 ㎡ of trellises. By day, take in the sight and aroma of the cascading purple flowers (stretching down over a meter) and browse stalls selling local goods, then enjoy a different view during the nighttime light-up.
