*''Japanese'': 警固神社 ''(Kego jinja)''
Kego Shrine is a [[Shinto shrine]] in the Tenjin neighborhood of [[Fukuoka]].
It is said to have been founded in conjunction with [[Empress Jingu|Empress Jingû's]] conquest of Korea; however, as Jingû and her conquests are generally believed to be legendary and not historical, the actual historical origins of the shrine are unclear.
It was re-established in its current location in the early 17th century by [[Kuroda Nagamasa]], lord of [[Fukuoka han]].
