Hakozaki Shrine, located along Hakata Bay, features an 850-meter approach stretching from its grand Ichinotorii gate to the main hall. Known for hosting major traditional events such as the Tamatori Festival and Hojoya, it plays a central role in Hakata’s cultural calendar. On Feb 3 at 10:00, local students from Hakozaki Elementary School perform a bean-throwing ceremony. Visitors can also receive fukumame (lucky beans) at the shrine’s amulet distribution area.
