Join the festivities at Hakozaki Shrine\u2019s 32nd Nagoshi Festival! Participate in a ritual called Chinowa-kuguri where visitors walk through a large bamboo ring wrapped with cogon grass; it is thought to promote good health and prevent disasters or misfortune for the next half year. While you\u2019re at it, why not partake in the complementary ritual, Jyosai Hitogata Osame? Blow into a katashiro<\/em> (piece of paper in the shape of a person) to cleanse oneself of sins. There are also 50 different fun booths to visit and many other events to enjoy, including a children\u2019s wadaiko<\/em> performance, hula dance, theater performance for children, karate exercises and more. And try out Hakozaki Shrine\u2019s specialty treat, yakimochi<\/em> (grilled pounded rice cake), before you go (it\u2019s similar to Dazaifu\u2019s infamous umegaemochi<\/em>)! There are two kinds of yakimochi<\/em> \u2013 white mochi<\/em> and mugwort mochi<\/em> \u2013 both of which make great souvenirs!<\/p>\n
