2 things that are must sees at the Kushida Shrine, not that the other things are not worth seeing, are the huge yamakasa offering from the KBC Kyushu Asahi Broadcasting and the Zodiac board on the ceiling.
The kamakasa offering is really huge and sheltered in an open warehouse-like structure. It is both difficult to capture a photo of it, because there is always a tourist or two who insist on standing in front of the yamakasa to admire it, and to see it in its entirety by standing right in front of it. The sensible thing would be to snap a picture of the yamakasa a slight distance away and zoom in to see the details, especially at the top of the yamakasa.
The Zodiac Board is not merely a static decoration. There is an arrow in the middle of the board, which is rotated on New Year's Eve every year to indicate the auspicious direction of the New Year. If I read the arrow correctly, the auspicious direction for 2024 is somewhere northeast, closer to the east.
