The popular Yutoku Inari Shrine, with its striking, brilliant vermillion buildings, is known as one of the three great Inari shrines and temples (sandai inari), and is said to bring bountiful harvests and prosperous business. You can enjoy seasonal flowers, including cherry blossoms and azaleas, and fall leaves here.
Fortune slips in different languages are also popular.
Close to the Yutoku Inari Shrine, there is a wood carving workshop. At this workshop, traditionally crafted Furyu masks used for Menburyu dance and wood-carved goods are made by the Saga Master (wood carver Keiun Komori). Menburyu dance is famous nationwide as a traditional performance folk art of Saga Prefecture.

Plus, Kashima is an area where Japanese sake-brewing flourishes, centered around Hizen Hamashuku with its white-walled buildings. In 2011, the "Nabeshima" made here was chosen as the International Wine Challenge (IWC)’s Champion Sake. During the Kashima Sakagura (sake brewery) Tourism in late March, you can enjoy touring the six breweries in the city.
