櫛田神社 蒙古碇石

櫛田神社 蒙古碇石 is a historical monument in Fukuoka, a testament to the failed Mongol invasion of Japan in the 13th century. The stone anchor (碇石) is a remnant of Kubilai Khan's fleet, which was destroyed by the legendary 'divine wind' (kamikaze).

This fascinating artifact is located on the grounds of Kushida Temple, one of the most important shinto temples in the region. The anchor is not only a valuable historical monument, but also a symbol of Japan's protection from invaders. For lovers of Japanese history and culture, it is a must-see when visiting Fukuoka.
