At a Glance
The LED lights illuminate the torii gates and stairs from one hour before sunset until after midnight, transforming this traditional Inari shrine into Fukuoka's most photogenic nighttime attraction.
Nicknamed 'Cyber Shrine' by locals, its futuristic neon-lit torii gates create such a striking atmosphere that visitors compare it to scenes from the video game Ghostwire Tokyo and John Wick movies.

Wear shoes with good grip if you plan to explore the shrine steps at night, since the key feature includes illuminated stone stairs.
The shrine office hours are 8 AM to 5 PM on weekdays and until 6 PM on weekends, but the illuminated grounds remain accessible well into the night. If you need to speak with shrine staff or obtain special items, visit during daytime operating hours.
Visit after dark to see the shrine's LED-lit torii gates and stone stairs at their most dramatic.
The shrine is a 15-minute walk from Ohori Park Station (use the Fukuoka City Museum Exit), or you can take bus number 68 from Hakata Bus Terminal bound for Fukuhama and get off at the Fueling Center stop, with the shrine located right up the hill.
Visit after sunset to experience the shrine's signature LED illumination, which begins about one hour before sunset and continues until after midnight.
Bring a camera or phone suited for low-light shots; the illuminated torii and stairs make this a strong night photography spot.
Pair your visit with nearby Ōhori Park or the waterfront, as the shrine is described as being close to both areas.
Plan to climb illuminated stairs to reach the main shrine building at the top of Inari-yama hill in Nishi Park. The approach features multiple torii gates typical of Inari shrines, creating excellent photo opportunities especially when lit up at night.
