Our guide
Chiriku Hachimangū, in the Shirakabe area of the town of Miyaki, Saga, is one of the shrines that claim to be the ichinomiya of the former Hizen Province. Its main festival is held every year on 15 March. Our source says little more than that, so this page is short.
Kurume Suitengū is about 2 km away and Kurume Castle about 2.7 km. We have not checked a public-transport route.
