Religion

Many religions are accessible in Fukuoka, however, some will be much easier to find than others, and most will necessitate a trip to the city. Those looking to practice a religion other than the native Buddhism and Shinto faiths or Christianity will need to travel a bit further. For example, there are no synagogues in Kyushu— the Jewish Community Center in Kobe is the nearest place to practice Judaism. The following list will help you get started, but it is not an exhaustive survey. Perhaps your home place of worship knows about chapters in Japan. You might also try posting a sign on your town bulletin board to see if others of the same faith live in the area.
